adeelarshad82 writes "A group of robot hobbyist researchers, known as Brave Robotics, have recently posted a three-minute demo video of a real life Transformer. The robot is 1/12 scale of an Autobot and is built using parts printed via a 3D printer. As the video demonstrates, the robot transforms from a car to a robot which is capable of not only walking backwards and forwards, and turning himself around but also shooting small darts from its arms."

America is slowly sliding into the abyss of dictatorship. This is utterly pathetic. Granted the name may have been offensive, but shouldn't we as citizens be allowed to name property we own and use anything we choose? It's like if you had a nick name for X item in your life. And the police found out that name and some how considered it offensive and criminal. I do not think it should be criminal in nature. I feel it should be more civil related, regarding court proceedings. Yes again the American police state rearing it's ugly head!
