My Brother Was On the News; Real Steel Robots!

    I just had to share this.  My brother is the handsome operator with the blue hat on.  This video has already been viewed over 260,000 times!  
    Check out the awesome robot--this makes me want to watch "Real Steel."


    I know you've seen the silly blog war with my brother.  Here's one of those blogs:

Manly Man, Leg Crosser or Intellectual

     But on a serious note, I had to show you what an amazing engineer he is.  He's actually done a lot of work on the robot shown in the video.
    Isn't that cool how "Real Steel" robots and possibly Iron Man-like suits might be real someday!
    Have you seen "Real Steel" yet?  

    If you'd like to visit my brother's blog, here's the link:

    As a nerd, I'm riveted (steel pun intended). I want one.

    Just to be clear. I'm the tall, dashing fellow, not the gray haired reporter. Also, not to be confused with Hugh Jackman from the Reel Steel clip. The later being a most understandable mistake.

    ahh That's awesome! You're just got a few minutes in the spotlight :)

    As much as I love Iron Man, it's a little scary to think of the world armed with such a powerful weapon.

    Awesome, but if they become a common thing, especailly an Iron Man suit, have to watch the robbers, bank vaults might go boom...haha They could do a ton to help though, just hopefully not to a skynet extent

    Wow!!! That's so awesome!! I can't imagine how much it would cost to outfit so many people with these suits, but hey, it's certainly a neat concept!! So neat that your brother got in the video! I'm heading over to check out his blog!

    Smiles, Jenn

    Yes please. Put me down for three of these. One for each of my children! How neat is this. Yes I've seen Real Steel...
    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWESOME! Probably the only time I've ever gotten excited about a boxing match...

    Very cool! It was filmed not too far from where I grew up. I'm anxious to see it too.

    How cool is that?

    Usually, when I hear someone say that their brother was on the news, I expect dirty t-shirts, cut off jeans, trailers, and cops. This was MUCH better!

    That was amazing! The possibilities are mind-boggling! It is nice to know that your crazy brother uses his brain for more than exploding cream filled balloons on your doorstep!

    Youngest wants one. It's all over now. *sigh*

    The boys saw real steel when I was at work a few Sundays ago. LOVED IT!

    Thanks for your comment at my place. I didn't want to mention your blog only because I thought you may have already had enough of the subject. I can not imagine posting something and getting the angry mail. :( Anyway... on to happy things!

    Wow...so cool! I was just watching Aliens, and that scene where Ripley beats the big Momma alien with the robot thing that looks like that. Then, I was thinking that I would much rather have some i robot thing as a personal assistant than to hire someone, or maybe just clone myself;) Anyway, my husband will die for this though! Oh, and I've heard from everyone how great Real Steel is. Must see it!
