  1. You would not believe the self-control it takes to not favorite all of these. ‘-}

  2. Beautiful colours…looks noisy πŸ˜‰

  3. I’m having similar trouble not commenting on all these! Keep em coming at this rate, Steve! Great stuff, glad to have time to savor each one.

  4. Thanks… Ben & Vanita: restrain not thyself…. Hey, Vanita, you could take a little drive across TX and join us in October for the XPrize Cup

    Zen: noisy in the good sense… a throaty roar of white noise

  5. no ISOmetrics good noise ;))

  7. oh, that is just bad ASS….

  8. I’ve seen a video of these in action, they’re surreal to see in real time, I imagine even more so seeing it live.

  9. Wonderful motion capture, I love it.

  10. Awesome. And where is the shot from the "camera and tripod in the foregroud for scale" note? That would be a pretty amazing POV.
