Google To Send Robots to the Moon

As previously discussed, Google (a.k.a. Skynet) is getting involved in the development of very advanced robots. One of their most notorious robotics projects is the Lunar X-Pize competition. See the video below for a global explanation of what the X-Prize Foundation is. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjokzUTpqjw The Lunar X-Prize is a race to the moon for private companies. It was first announced in 2007 and is expected to yield a winner (the first private company to send a robot to the moon) by 2015. So far, Google has confirmed that 29 teams, from 17 different countries, are participating in the competition. For more information about the competition, and a cheesy dramatization of how it could happen, see the following video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SAbgZpaTgvo
