    did they count on larger fishes chewing on theirs?

  • LazerMax22 said:

    just make it big as a shark or dolphin, doubt much will try to eat it then, plus at that size and in the water, protection layers aren’t that hard to add.

    speaking of retard logic, lets take a look at your profile.

    If you want truth, go to my profile. If you want ignorance, they can take a look at your profile. Nice CS video, little bitch. Welcome to ignore, I don’t need to be bothered by 12 year olds on the internet.

    no, Obama will have them working for the Russians tracking US submarines instead

    Or because they have common sense and know we are comprised of edible material… Nature isn’t given enough credit.

  • lORDELO2 said:

    it’s easy to go around that with simple audio defense systems or something

  • lykenth08 said:

    you bastard!

  • jaw1024 said:

    those robo fishes would hurt coming out the other end :S or being digested etc…

    but if they can evade bigger predators then it’s ok?

  • H4X0RXP said:

    totally

    and greenpeace boats too
    LoL

  • lykenth08 said:

    yeah and they can evade submarine radar too and have bomb on them! be programed to trach down an kill other fish to destroy fish supplies too or attack people! wow – hey thats an interesting concept lol. just a thought any how

    That’s what she said.

  • PIONNEER55 said:

    :D kudos.

  • 1freedomfighter11 said:

    if they just put off a bit o an electrical current the preditors would sta away from them.

  • lykenth08 said:

    but that cost energy, they will not be able to last as long and i dont know what type of scensors they have on them, that might cause interfirence. not unless it can choose to go on stand by, pulse out electricity then resume the plan. it would have to do it quick tho as sword fish are fast and sharks may ignor it or just attack fast. what about clinging to the wale… whale.. well you know.

  • vaspan123 said:

  • ArnoldVeeman said:

  • TKnightcrawler said:

    Might want to make your robots not appear tasty to predators before you put them out there to save drowning fishermen.

  • 1freedomfighter11 said:
