ROBO-JAWS!

Fabien Cousteau’s Robot Shark Submarine


filed under Robots

Cousteau’s grandson Fabien is building a shark-shaped submarine that
will use pneumatics to power a working tail so that he will be able to
slip in undetected with real live sharks. It sounds a little scary:


the dive team on the Calypso “probably getting bored” decided to make
the robotic shark act erratic and ” injured”. Consequently, a large
female turned on the shark and gave it a “death blow” which is a bite
to the gills. She came back for several more and completely destroyed
the robotic shark.
That robot shark did not have a diver inside of it, but was instead helmed by forty pounds of bacon. (Thanks, Joseph!)

He's finished making the shark, hasn't he? And now he's talking about how "Final Cut Pro and DVD Studio Pro are so important to the endeavor" on the Apple site.
