this video keeps weaving between possible and illogical. looks cool, but could easily be seen as good CGI.

maybe we should hook these guys up with Ugobe (the guys who make the Pleo) and get them to make swimming dinosaur toys?

@alphathon:
your spelling is terrible. if you’re going to correct someone, learn how to spell. you’re british? oh, then you definitely don’t know how to spell. get with the American program.

i don’t know if the rest of you are being sarcastic, but it isn’t difficult to see that those “air penguins” are fully CG. i don’t know about the wall, but how the hell do you make a shiny metal penguin fly without suspension? helium? hydrogen? i don’t buy it.

lastly, this looks AND sounds exactly like one of those ads from DOOM3 (the game, not the movie).

…
Okay, guys… a 1:22?
Doesn’t it look a little CGI’d?
Same with the walls?
Does anybody else get a weird feeling? Is it just me? Or am I pointing out the obvious?

I want a flying penguin… ;_;

But seriously, this company festo are fantastic, really sweet engineering over there.
That 3D printer looks great.
It could be moved around pretty easily as well, compared to the big bulky ones we currently have.
And no base liquid needed, no lasers either.

“Why do people say that! “Orient” already means what people use “orientate” for. Why!! Why do people do that!!!!!!!!!
-Taylor”

He said orientate because he’s british. It is commonly used un british english, while orient is used un american english. You’ll almost never hear any british person say orient. Also, if you’re goig to critisise the words someone is using, at the very least punctuate properly. Using multiple exclaimation marks is incorrect and a little juvenile, especially when the sentence should end in a question mark. Every single sentence you ended in an exclaimation mark, but every one was a question. Also, “Why” on it’s own does not constitute a sentence.

It should be noted that I am only picking at your grammar in responce to your comment, and wouldn’t normally do so.

Anyway, flying penguin zeppelins are awesome. :)

You gave them free will? GAAAAAAAAH!

I, for one, welcome our new flying penguin overlords.

why go pneumatic when you can just use 2 rolls and a servo?

I saw Festo vid linked from dig yesterday and almost orgasmed. What a great place to work, so many cool toys and creative people.
They use simple principles to make complex things. Just look at their car Gaming Chair

so simple and silent, just six pressure hoses

i briefly mistook the swimming penguins for the real thing. very impressive. the air penguins are epic.

it looks like this “bionic fin ray” effect can be easily reproduced using pneumatic muscles. i’m definitely going to give this a try.
