When Doug Fields was Chief Technology Officer, Segway held "Frog Days" where the engineers could build such toys from the plentiful collection of scrap, hopefully inspiring a new product. I don't know if he's held them at Apple.

He sounds like an excellent boss to me.

Looks very interesting. What I would really like to do, if I had a spare $3,000, is to build an automatic sniper soldier. It would be a robot programmed to shoot at certain color light bulbs as they light up (so that it is safe to test). It would, of course, shoot BBs or some other safe projectiles.
If used in a real war, it could potentially deny the enemy a sector, without exposing any soldiers.

Do you know about the US Army's Unmanned Ground Vehicle program? They have robots equipped with machine guns.

I'm sure there's better info than that article, but it was handy.
