Long time readers know about the saga of what my first live dog is going to be called - not that I am saying I want one, but if I ever did it MUST be called BYTE. I think that is such a great name for a dog... Byte. I can see problems during training but it would be so cute.

So I looked at some interest at this page which described a project making a RoboSapien Robot Dog follow a lego robot in a bizzare form of catch. Cool project but I really cannot totally see the point. Byte would be a REAL dog, not some robot. Sure it would be nice to be able to program the dog not to chew the furniture, but that is half the fun with dogs.
