Weed killing robot.

With all this excitement of Transformers and robots, it was only a matter of time before someone created a robot that kills weeds. Here's a quote for all you punks -

"According to the Ludington Daily News, Michigan, Danish agricultural engineers have built a robot to help farmers with weeds. The Hortibot is about 3-foot-by-3-foot, is self-propelled, and uses global positioning system (GPS). It can recognize 25 different kinds of weeds and eliminate them by using its weed-removing attachments. It's also very environmentally friendly because it can reduce herbicide usage by 75 percent. But so far, it's only a prototype and the Danish engineers need to find a manufacturer for distribution."

Pretty cool if you ask me. If it can mow the lawn and print money then I'm sold.
