Did anyone see the wildlife programme Swimming With Roboshark last night on BBC?

I loved the way Roboshark got amongst those deadly killers of the sea, pity he got taken out a la The Terminator at the end.

They need to put defences on the next model.

I;m sure they were just pushing how far he would go so that he would die horribly for the big finale.
But yes, it was cool. Go David Attenborough!

Wait, they made a roboshark?!

Yeah, it's a shark-sized robot that has a camera onboard. They used it to see what animals are like when they're not reacting to humans.

They did a less advanced one with a moving pile of dung or turf or something, sent it into the lion's den and an elephant herd and stuff.

There was that robot elephant too that observes other wellyphants. Kept reminding me of Ace Ventura 2 for some reason...

Nice to see the Beeb using the budget for disguised weapons of death.

The real sharks destroyed it? I wish i'd seen that.

Discovery Channel is including this film as part of SharkWeek. We can see it all!!

Of course, for some reason DiscChan is advertising "Anatomy of a Shark bite" more than this cute little robot. guess the thought of seeig an actual person bit on film is far more tantalizing...

I want a roboshark, dammit! And I want to feed my enemies to it!
