Anyone seen Waldo, the robot
Waldo is missing – he had gone underwater to gather critical information on algae and there is no trace of him since past couple of days. It took over US $1 million to equip him for the task and he going missing has brought many experiments to a standstill. For those not in the know – Waldo is a robot of the Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota. It is feared that his direction finder system has malfunctioned. It could have sunk to the sea bottom or be floating around – directionless.
