I'll be impressed when they can actually get these 'bots to a decent USABLE size and actually have them doing somthing USEFULL instead of dancing around like a bunch of sillicon fairies!!

Hell, even if it's for pushing/lifting/pulling heavy stuff around or patroling w/webcam in whatever limb it'll want to call for a hand with some athourity that would be great! The American public aren't going to pay this kind of money for a glorified toy unless you can put some real-world, industrial application to them. When they see these things stocking the shelves at the local Target and making the rounds at the shopping malls sporting a Pinkerton Security logo, THEN we may finally see public support and innovation with these bots.

Remember: There's no innovation if nobody has a real-world use for a product
