Robinspect robot

There is a robot called the robinspect that inspects tunnels. this robot can see things that the naked eye can not see. It can keep tunnels from caving in on people.

It can move 1 meter per second and use its computer vision system to rapidly acquire rough 2D images of every inch of that tunnels walls. It has a small unmanned vehicle with a crane mounted on top of it.on top of the crane is a robotic arm to help fix the cracks.

They say this 3 year project will have more safety and also helps the inspectors. The Robot also will be shorter tunnel-inspection closure times, and financial savings as less human workers will need to be paid, and for less hours. it will be expected to be ready by next year and will be tested in London, experimental tunnels in Switzerland, three underground stretches of the Egnatia highway in Greece.

robots

     Some day robots will clearly rise up and destroy us. These kinds of robots will be able to draw weird art. Matthew dörfelt made a robot that draws pictures random forever.

      The robot is called robo fabar contains only 2 motors and can draw straight or curved lines.  The type of board is an arduino board generating algorithms that translates to paper. It draws like trippy pictures with random things attached. 

     This robot is still bein processed to be made better. Robo fabar can be useful for anything in life. It also can be artistic and kids don't have to color the same pictures and it is a half circle.

     On the lytro camera, once you take the picture you can refocus, change perspective, and add Living Filters to create a new look. This camera uses megarays instead of megapixels which makes the picture very clear and not blurry. You can resize the picture to make it bigger or smaller and the picture will be crystal clear.

     this camera takes the picture right away so you dont capture the picture the second after you click the button. this camera give you the control on the lighting. The ISO range is 80 (min) to 3200 (max), and the minimum shutter speed is 1/250.

      This camera is out already with the price of $400-$500 depending on the GB. it is very easy to hold unlike a normal camera since it is a small rectangle. this small camera can do the same as normal cameras but is lighter faster and better picture quality.

Wireless internet 

10 hrs of battery life

Apps keep updating

Google nexus 7

$159-$204

Bluetooth

I think the ipad is a better deal because you can do alot more on it than the google nexus. The ipad gets updated alot and so does the apps. this makes everything better and faster while the google nexus barely has any updates at all.

Veneno

http://www.gizmag.com/most-expensive-lamborghini-veneno/29464/

Even though a $4.3 million dollar Lamborghini Veneno Roadster is out they are thinking about releasing a topless one of the same model. This car can reach 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds. You can go up to 220 mph with a 750 horse power.

Productions of this topless car will be starting in 2014. There is going to be only 9 Venenos produced. since theres is only going to be 9 produced it will be less expensive than the original.

I think this is a very nice car but it's something many people can not afford. The veneno is getting only asked for 5.3 million but many people will want it so they will bid for it. The problem they will have is the wind hitting them because they are going so fast and it could affect them.

LG has changed all the button from the side to the back of the device. They call the buttons on the back the "Rear Key." It takes a little while to get your fingers use to the buttons on the back of the phone.
These buttons let you open your camera alot quicker and open a note taking app. The LG G2 phone has a 5.2 inch IPS LCD display with a 1920 x 1080 resolution. The LG G2 is wider than the Galaxy S4.
The huge 3000 mAh battery comes with gaming, working, and browsing all day with out you worrying about charging your phone. The camera is uses in optimal light so it is very clear. If pictures came out blurry or noisy, with proper software adjustments, photos come out alot better
