RISE OF THE MACHINES - Stanley the Ultimate Power Tool

Flee for your lives people, the age of autonomous Robot is now upon us, and they are getting paid. Obviously raising money as part of a nefarious plot (the only worthwhile type of plot in my view) to take over the world.

"Stanley" Pictured on the left may look like just a humble 4WD (SUV to our American Brethren), but this little sucker is actually the first a robotic vehicle ever to complete the DARPA grand challenge, a challenge where inventors create an autonomous ground vehicle that will save American lives on the battlefield. To be honest saving American Lives is a noble, yet secondary goal for me, more importantly i want to know when i get Stanley to drive me home from the Pub on a Sunday morning. Is he available for wedding, parties, anything.

Oh, and how the heck does "Red Bull" manage to get their logo on all the winningest things.
