Re: Robotic Roach
You're just upset that you're being replaced by a robot yourself.The researchers behind the robot believe it could be used to catch cockroaches and that bots designed to mimic other animals could one day work on farms controlling flocks of sheep and chickens by similar means.
Meanwhile, somewhere in Oklahoma.
Re: Robotic Roach
Yup... worked the same way with my slug-bot."If you don't put the pheromone molecules on them, the cockroaches get scared because they are afraid it is a predator," says roboticist Jean-Louis Deneubourg from the Free University in Brussels.
You need to call their "natural instinct".

Pheromone Molecules - Yep this is how the women snare us too! Here we thought it was simply too much alcohol!

Re: Robotic Roach
Yeah... I tried alcohol with the slugs, but it didn't work.
In hindsight, perhaps margarittas weren't the best choice.
