Huh? What does this have to do with either theme? I see a big
teal/orange/black robot (says something about being 3.45 meters tall) on a page
that's written in Spanish (and even though I took two years in high school, I'm
not very good at learning new languages, and it's been a few years, so...). I
looked around a bit, and best I can figure out is you're referring to the fact
that there are humanoid robots featured in one area of the page. Is that what
you're referring to?

I think he may have just been trying to get our minds off of differences in
building elements by getting us to focus on something we probably all would
think was cool, a nifty new robot. In case anyone wants to find out more about
this new bot, here's the manufacturer's web site:
http://www.enryu.jp/
It's in Japanese, but you can go to Babelfish, (http://world.altavista.com/)
paste the web address for the site on the "Translate a Web page" line and set to
translate Japanese to English. The site has info and there are a bunch of movies
on the "animated picture page"

I know when I've made a bad joke when I actually have to explain it :p Sorry
about the mistery. I saw that picture and inmediately imagined a combination of
many Lego themes, including almost all Technic subthemes.
Base and blade for barebones Technic fellows
Arms for Bionicle, robotics and pneumatics fans
Cabin to make it a mecha, maybe with enough appeal to the model team builders
Enough space to throw in an RCX
It would also make an instersting model for minifig scale
Etc.
Sorry for the Spanish as well. I fished around and, surprinsingly, that was the
best non-Japanese page that I could fetch about the artifact. It's the result of
a several year collaboration between a fire department and a robotics research
unit of a university. It's a rescue vehicle which protects its driver while at
the same time providing delicate manipulating functions.

Nice! Although that one is from before the days when they figured out how to
make them walk, while the real one is from before the days when they figured out
how to build them slick-looking! 8D
