"Giant spider stalks city streets"


news.bbc.co.uk
Liverpool city centre was brought to a standstill as thousands of visitors turned out to catch a glimpse of La Princesse, the 50ft (15m) spider.

Crowds packed the streets to follow the mechanical beast on its walkabout from the Cunard building through the city.

And although the rain eased for part of the day, onlookers were still soaked by huge jets of water from her abdomen.

The £1.5m Capital of Culture event, operated by French company La Machine, was continuing on Sunday.

Thanks for that. Everyone I heard talking about this said it was going to walk around the city streets and climb buildings etc. Now we know it moves the city will have to invest in some giant dusters to keep the cobwebs off the town hall.
Thanks again.

The robot is actually manned by three people so no I dont think it can be trained to kill

But that aside, I think robots with this sort of capacity aren't very far off at all, in fact we already have them! There are heat sensitive gun turrets which will blast at anything diplaying a heat signature. But as for terminator types, I dont think that will be in our lifetime. But unfortunately it IS inevitable that some scientist will make it his life's work to create one.
