Skating robots

What an interesting age we live in...

There's a new robot in called Plen, built in Japan and controlled via bluetooth wireless from a common cell phone, which is capable of skateboarding and skating:

And then there's this neat spidery-looking one:

How long before we have robots in competitions?

Well, we do drive a Citroën C3, and whenever I see that ad, I always think what very good taste both we and they have!
