As a girl, there's nothing more cute and endearing than watching these little guys play soccer. Those dark gray robots with the pointy heads and big round eyes were great.

Why can't we make 'terminator like,' life-sized robots to deploy in battle? This video shows robots can be made to function on a small scale, so, why not a large one?

I'm all for it. Would be the coolest thing to see.
