RTI’s patent pending robotic system will be able to find, ingest and extract energy from biomass in the environment. Despite the far-reaching reports that this includes “human bodies,” the public can be assured that the engine Cyclone has developed to power the EATR runs on fuel no scarier than twigs, grass clippings and wood chips – small, plant-based items for which RTI’s robotic technology is designed to forage. Desecration of the dead is a war crime under Article 15 of the Geneva Conventions, and is certainly not something sanctioned by DARPA, Cyclone or RTI.

My tin foil hat is tingling.

Dang, I had hopes that a couple hundred of these things might get loose in D.C. but the poor machines would starve for lack of brains to eat. Too bad. :(
I guess that I was mistaken after all. Go ahead and send a few hundred to Washington D.C. It's chocked full of walking vegetables ;D

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.

I figure if it'll block an EMP pulse then it'll stop aliens from stealing my brain waves too.  ;)
