Cool robot and a very practical Idea.

But then cows and other cattle and vegetarians wouldn't have enough.

At this stage, EcoBot II is a "proof-of-concept" robot and travels only at roughly 10 centimeters per hour.

apparently it only eats really slow flies.

That's why I said a plant-eating robot would be a better idea!

now. What if it could photosynthesize, produce starches and store energy that way? I wonder how sugar compares to batteries as an energy storage medium.

10 cm/hour? At least we don't have to worry about it gaining intelligence and going on a murderous rampage.

Well, really slow/old people may have cause for concern.

so there are fly's on mars now?

when they can make a robot that powers itself on dirt/sand/carbon materials, then I will be impressed, well more impressed, cause that is a really cool concept

We need one that eats old people's medicine...
