    READ: Fly-eating robot powers itself

    - Scientists at the University of the West of England (UWE) have designed a robot that does not require batteries or electricity to power itself. Instead, it generates energy by catching and eating houseflies. Dr Chris Melhuish and his Bristol-based team hope the robot, called EcoBot II, will one day be sent into zones too dangerous for humans, potentially proving invaluable in military, security and industrial areas. It really is the FUTURE!

    I want one that eats Pikeys and turns them into mulch for the garden.
    There's no panic like the panic you momentarily feel when you've got
    your hand or head stuck in something
