are the roaches on east campus still big as shit, and does the tri towers/ tucker beach still have those big ass rats at night

That's fuckin' awesome!
^I remember many times being out with you guys in Bowen seeing bigass roaches and rats.

Yeah, it's not like ncsu has crop scientists working on that or anything.

Bergen had massive roaches.

That's cool and all but .... what is the point to it?

Remote control + camera would be an easy way to get military intel on a target.

^Yeah but birds and spiders and shit would be happy to bite a robo-roach in half thinking it was an easy meal. I'd think all the giant rats and campus would eat the giant roaches.

Pretty sure the scientists/engineers who developed controlled roaches aren't the same type of people who can solve world hunger. Why should we even research anything when there is world hunger around? Let's forget about figuring out nuclear fusion! There is world hunger!

well of course they would...regardless of predators, that IS one of the reasons WHY they made it. another could be for search and rescue missions in piles of rubble.
