Random Interesting Thing
Tino Christmas List $7500 is probably too much for a custom action figure, because I need more than one. I’d need normal, mild-mannered Tino; Super Tino!, with crime-fighting gadgets; Astronaut Tino; Special Forces Tino; etc. I figure I’ll wait until you can get these things made for $100 in an hour at the mall.

Someday, perhaps even becoming readily for sale in a shopping mall, Dartmouth Computer Scientist (named 2002 MacArthur Fellow), Daniela Rus’ self reconfiguring robots may be at your disposal to perform all the ‘Tino functions’ and more than you’ve listed on your Christmas wish list: http://www.dartmouth.edu/~news/releases/sept02/rus.shtml Images and videos of a few sample “smart” robots can be found at the Dartmouth Robotics Laboratory website, www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~robotlab/.
