      The best way to make profit in the market is to invest in crypto! Don’t hodl crypto! invest with a professional trader instead.

      Mrs Rebecca Jane been really been helpful for real,trading with her has been going smoothly for me as I’ve been able to raise over almost 4 BTC when I started at 10k in my first deposit.

      I’m so short of wards! Mrs Rebecca Jane story is all over the media. I think if you’re new to trading or need to multiply your assets you should go through her guidance.

    Robot being so big, can have 4 – 8 arms… For example, two arms pick up a heavy object, jar like, user presses a button and toggles to the second we told arms to open the lid, toggle and another set to reach in, for odd situations that require more than 2 arms, we’ve all been there where more hands are needed for a task am I right?

      Ah I’m glad they get a kick out of my videos! I’ve had a few people tell me their kids love the sci-tech futurism stuff we do, so glad we have some fans 🙂

    Design to last longer than humans???????
    Isn’t that the point??

    Who wants to invest into robot that can only last 3min under water??

    I still fail to see why it had to be humanoid. And why it has binocular vision… If it’s just going to be on a regular screen. This feels like a missed opportunity to apply VR tech.

    What’s unclear to me is what features would let it weld at that depth, fending off pressure waves on its equipment maybe 100 times those at 10 M. Maybe hand it a ring and kick into the ring? I want this thing pouring cement and welding to get MA offshore wind back in the fungible zone…

    That my dream job! Im currently getting a degree in Mechanical Engineering to do just what they are. So Awesome! I hope to see it in person someday, and meet the team that worked on it.

    All that said I have tons of questions:
    – Does it have to be tethered to communicate with the ground station?
    – Would it be possible to convert its controls to VR?
    – It looks like its head can rotate, if so, how much?

The Despacio tent is a temple of music for audio geeks, and the brainchild of LCD Soundsystem frontman James Murphy, Stephen and David Dewaele of 2manydjs aka Soulwax, and audio engineer John Klett. First created in 2013, Despacio makes its way from festival to festival, blasting dancers with vintage vinyl from seven McIntosh speaker stacks that make up the 50,000-watt sound system along with the lighting rig and iconic disco ball that complete the experience. CNET social producer Faith Chihil got a chance to catch it at Portola Music Festival in San Francisco and here’s what she found. #despacio #portolamusicfestival #festival #audiophile #vinyl
