Award Winning Robo News Features Robosapien! (Video)
Kelvin Read produced and directed a really entertaining Robo News video featuring Robosapien and his pals. The video was so good that it ended up winning the Sapien-Nation Video contest. The Robo News video (included below) is a load of laughs. There are even some subtle touches of humor, like Robosapien’s classic newscaster tie.

Robo-caster gets wild and crazy with the news.





Robo News segments include Robo-Entertainment, Robo-Medicine, Robo-Sports, Robo-Weather, and even a bit of G-rated Robo-Love!
Here’s the Robo News video via youtube.com:
Just by way of background, Kelvin is the nephew of Carl Read the publisher of the always interesting and entertaining Robosaps blog. We suspect, though we have no way to prove it, that the object of Roboraptors lust is Carls unusually intelligent cat.
The Grand Prize for the Sapien-Nation video contest was a Robosapien V2 personally autographed by Mark Tilden. We can hardly wait to see what Kelvin and his video production crew can do once they get their hands on the V2.

Interesting cat speculation, but completely wrong! My intelligent cat's name is Nemo, while it's Jess in The News! :-)
Thanks for the big writeup!
