koi_robot.jpgJust because Oatmeal Jack made the smart ass comment about Electric Carp.....Well here it is!  (w/Video)

"Now would it be too much to ask to get a Mutant Robot Carp with Frikken Lasers attached...C'mon people?"

Ohh what we could do with one of these at a WV Carp'n Hole!

 

The robotic carp developed by Ryomei Engineering (a subsidiary of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries) is a curious example of a fish robot. This remote-controlled metal fish resembles a koi carp, and it's actually a great catch: 80 cm and 12 Kg. The following video shows the smooth tail movement. The robotic koi is able to swim in reverse and rotate in place thanks to its five motors. Additionally, it is equipped with a CCD camera and sensors for analyzing water quality.

I think I can see John in that little portal trying to steer it while he gets his underwater camera working. Jack
