I Dare You: Try To Explain How This Is Okay
It's a giant baby robot. It exemplifies everything that's wrong with robotics. Namely, that they exist -- or were born, if you will (L337 baby tie-in FTW!). It shouldn't exist. If I had a time machine I'd go back in time and make sure it was never created bang dinos. Sorry guys, I've got priorities.
the robot is supposed to model a 1 year old baby and the purpose is to conduct research on how a baby's brain develops. Diego-san's face has about 20 moving parts so that it can communicate with facial expression without being able to talk. It is 130cm tall, weighs 30kg and can stand up from a chair on its own. It can hold a water bottle with its hand. It has a high resolution camera and 6 axis acceleration sensor built in to detect movement. Unfortunately it doesn't say why the head has to be so big. Female researchers contributed to the design and coordination - thus the photo of woman hugging Diego-san.
Pfft. Like you really need a creepy-ass robot to study how a baby's brain develops? Here, let me solve that mystery for you: slowly..... (see it?)

I am sorry but you were a bit late, and last edition as we had the same situation in a pairing between Gisele and Josie, I set the rule that if I have already written the results or said that time is over, later votes do not count if they affect any result, no matter if they are 5 minutes late or just a few seconds as it was in the case of Gisele and Josie.
