Magic Bots: Vine-Inspired Robots Can Grow on Demand

Robots that mimic ivy vines can grow thousands of times their original lengths at speeds faster than the average person can run, a new study finds.

The new soft, flexible robots could one day be used in tight situations, such as to slither through rubble or snake inside the human body...

The newly developed robot is made of soft, flexible polyethylene, the most common plastic in the world. It grows from its tip via internal air pressure, which pushes plastic tubing stored at its base up through the core of its body. The robot is initially about 11 inches (28 cm) long, but can rapidly reach a maximum length of about 236 feet (72 meters), according to the researchers.

"The body doesn't move as the tip extends," Hawkes told Live Science. "That is, you could hold the body of the robot tightly in your hands, and the tip would keep growing."

Welcome to the undead thread.
Here, everyone is free to let you know what they think.
And since your post 34 in the referenced thread was rather ill advised...
...well, you’ll see.

Meet an idiot who thinks that boycotting the NFL didn’t give BLM and antifa leverage over the NFL.

[Darksheare]

Lol.
From the top: what were the NFL players kneeling during the anthem in support of? (Hint: it has a b, an l, and an m)
And what did NFL commish Goodell double down on?
(Hint: support of b.l.m. monikered thugs.)

So in your delusional fantasy, boycotting support of BLM somehow supports BLM.

[edzo4]

See my tagline thanks

[Darksheare]

Still doesn’t prove your assertions.
Show proof, thnx.

[edzo4]

Wow, multiple posts of the same thing.
How... Uniquely obsessive.

[Darksheare]

Also, I’m not the one stalking people from one thread to another because I’m upset that they don’t conform to what I want when it comes to the NFL.
I love it when people whine to me.

[edzo4]

I learned it from you besides It’s cool I was told it doesn’t matter if you don’t ping any one, so gfys what’s good for the good is good for the gander.

[NoCmpromiz]

Seems we have someone here that thinks copying someones post and posting it him(?)self (wouldn’t want to assume gender) somehow creates the situation of the original poster doubleposting.

How..interestingly obsessive. We like trolls possessed of convoluted logic paths and displaying same.

So, obsessive troll, welcome to the Undead.

[Darksheare]

Might want to calm your jets.

Poster accuses those who boycotted the NFL of supporting BLM.
No proof shown, just accusations repeated ad infinitum.

He then admits to stalking the thread poster from one threas to another to continue his psychotic rambling accusations of “boycott supports blm”.

When it gets pointed out, he begins calling people “fag”

“Pussy coward”

“Little bitch”

“Yeah you can gfys now I’ve wasted enough time with your bullshit. I’m going to sleep for a while why do you see if you can round up some help maybe some other threads and I’ll be back in the morning to bitch slap you around some more.”

[NoCmpromiz]

You didn’t mention the obsessive multiple (fifteen times) posting of the same thing a person exhibiting trollishness utilized on another thread to prove his(?) (wouldn’t want to assume gender) total unhingement.

[edzo4]

Help me help me. I getting beat at my own game. Anyone is welcome to see the time stamps and who dragged it to another thread first. Put on your big boy pants and deal with it. P*ssy. What’s the matter it’s not entertaining you anymore?

[Darksheare]

Well, it’s kinda self explanatory.
Like when we had jester beeber in forum.

I’m not the one bragging sbout stalking someone just to accuse them of supporting BLM.

[NoCmpromiz]

I’m very interested in the logic behind your tagline. Would you please explain lucidly if possible your thought process behind this statement?

[Darksheare]

Try over here.
“Flustered” are your posts linked here in 5170.

[edzo4]

Just another giant p*ssy who wants to dish it out but can’t take it. Here show me any post on anther thread before you posted this around 7:25 pm

Lol.
You really are amusing.
And detached from reality, but amusing to me.
I think you’ll be the new Undead Thread pet.

[edzo4]

Sure IMO the NFL protest gave BLM more leverage because the viewers took it out on the NFL instead of the actual protesters. Had the fans stuck with the NFL it would have been easier to not aquiecse to the blm demands and to spend NFL money on sjw causes. And as the “protest” actually started two season ago during Obamas term any effort to quashed the protest outright would have been called racism and probably got a Jesse Jackson Al sharpton type lawsuit added in as well.
