Looking forward to the vids!! What does it do which is automated? Find targets?

Are you sure it’s running Windows XP? It looks awfully small.

Did anyone see that vid on
Did anyone see that vid on reddit of them pulling an old tiger out of some lake in Europe? There was a petition to release it to a public museum but I dunno whatever happen with that. It used to be hosted on this petition site but I can’t seem to find it, it had like 20k signatures too…maybe they deleted it or something.
