Japan Now Has Robotic Frog Technology

What if countries described robotics technology in the same manner as, say, the space race?

If they did, the USA would realize that they now have a serious robot frog gap.
Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a mighty robot frog named Mowgli, capable of jumping more than 19 inches onto a standard office chair.

Just the sort of chair that a sitting government official, or nuclear scientist might use…

Robotic frogs aside, what other technology milestones will we have in a worldwide robotics race?

    I’ll give you a milestone… who’ll be first to develop robotic mice?

    Not the pointless maze solving type, but an insideously clever mouse-sized bot that hides well, devours crops, can power itself by eating scraps from your trash…

    And stares at you defiantly before scurrying out of reach. Creep-tastic.
