I had heard of these 3D printers, but I never thought they could produce something so large as a UAV.



Genius!

Interesting...

@Pony; Obviously they are printing parts that are later assembled.

Both awesome.. How long until people say ' WE WANT DIS IN TEH PEE ARR!?' though.. GPS Guided Vehicles would be better than idiotic APC drivers at times

Even cooler robot!

That's fooking! WEIRD tha.

The UAV was made at my alma mater. I had a few lectures with the professor mentioned in the article, Jim Scanlan.

The robotic pack mule looks very useful.

I've seen Big Dog before. Legs are handy for difficult terrain.

You were at southampton deadly?

Yes.

Man, we were probably there at the same time then, 2006-2010?

Oh, right! What did you study?

Physics with Photonics for four looong years haha. You?

Photonics? / ?F" SAY WHAT?

Lasers and s**t init

Cool. I did Aerospace Engineering.

Rockets and s**t.

Where did you live? Halls?

Monte 3, then private accom.

I don't think I ever ventured down there. I was in Hartley Grove, then Portswood after halls. What did you think of Southampton then? Where did you go out?

Haha. I liked Monte. Was handy for the rifle range.

I've grown quite fond of Southampton. Nice green areas, good selection of shops, not bad for cycling around, some excellent drinking establishments (Hobbit, Great Western Arms).

Yes the parks are awesome. WOO someone else likes the hobbit. I love that place, epic beer garden, and great jukebox. Been going there since I was 17 and still love it. You ever venture to the Soul Cellar? OH and what about jesters? I trust you've been there?

No, I've successfully managed to avoid Jesters for five years.

What about the L32 ? and the Pingy ?

Bang's been Super
