ThinkTank in Birmingham

November
Lookout Birmingham, the Americans have found a nearby city we haven't explored!
Rather industrial, but there seems to be a great deal of things to do.
Reminded me of a tunnel from a Bourne Movie

We spent the day at the Thinktank Museum. It was really good.
A fly that they hope to use in search and rescue and
send it other places that current technology can't reach.
The goal is to teach this robot emotions.
Emo is also learning to identify human emotions.
You use a computer to write music and the robot plays it for you.
Tons of old machinery
V says this is a good likeness of me.....when he gets me angry!
Giant Ancient Deer
Kids City: Doctors office (also know as the surgery), Dentist Office,
Ambulance, Cafe, Garage, Phone System that worked, an on and on.


There was a little play. We thought it a bit lame, but the kids liked it.


Old Cars, Planes, etc.
Mechanical stuff
The place was really neat. It had a planetarium,
an Imax theater, and sections on the past, present and future.
