Repacked With Power

The robot that can change itself. Welcome back to another day of Odd News! This time, we're talking about a new robot that could change everything we know about our humanoid companions. What's a robot to do when it runs out of power? You'd think the answer would be simple. But for this new robot, it's a bit more complicated. And a lot more creepy. And while this new feature ensures that the robot can keep going, it also has a pretty funny flaw. You'll have to listen to find out what it is! We also continue to celebrate the Platinum Anniversary of comedy4cast (PAC), with classic clips from the past 20 years. Today's classic clip is from November of 2011. In this one, Danny Hillcrest takes his video-saving efforts to a ridiculous new extreme. Well, actually, for Danny, this is a pretty standard level of ridiculous.
