Greetings Extropes,

Beck released the music video for his song Hell Yes today, and  
musical tastes notwithstanding I think it is very much worth a view.  
The Qrio performs beautifully. I never thought I'd be one for robot  
dance numbers, but the work with balance and collision done here is  
really very good. They've got something going in the pevlis/knee/ 
ankle in a dual axis flavor of the segway by the looks of it - but I  
can't see offering constant resistance and keeping the juice low so I  
would have to guess actuated rare earth or something to keep cost  
down on the batteries. anyway.
