Turn Your Robot Into $600k!

Apparently, Singapore is looking for the "best street-fighting robowarrior" and the government is willing to pay over $600,000 for it. Who says that building robots doesn't pay (except for my fiance)?

Seems like a ridiculously low sum of money for a robot that can do all that. It seems like the bot will cost a lot more.

From waht I understand it has to be pretty big to climb up normal stairs!
