Ridiculous, how dare you plebeians libel our foremost technology elite. It's MIT, of course what they're doing is utterly novel and deserving of fawning media coverage.

I hear they tried that robot in Montreal and it crashed due to memory exhaustion.

Makes you wonder what is the average water loss in other systems.
