Did anyone see it last night (Thrus. 05/15/08) on the Science Channel?

About 2 years back, we enjoyed a nice piece on the Montgomery plant on the History Channel. Last night's program went a little more in depth on the robots. Most of the body work is done entirely by hundreds of them, and the body is all but untouched by human hands. People don't get involved in the assembly process until they start doing the wiring harnesses and interior details.

It's mesmerizing to watch all those robots doing the assembly ballet. I guess that's something only a geek would enjoy.

I just want 1 cheap little robot to wash and wax.

Hey bobad,
Someone posted a link to what I think you are describing. Seems it was on National Geographic TV. I'd rather have a robot to mow the yard and do housework. Heck I like to wash and wax. Wax once a year. Love it when my back hurts afterward. :grin:

My bad. I thought it aired for the 1st time last night. At least, that's what the TV man said.

Did anyone notice how they tested each Sonata? I was impressed. You could hear that familiar v6 growl.
