Why didn't you put your video in some place (like youtube) that's easier for people to watch so that we can help you.

I have to agree with vdd, I downloaded the file and it won't play in windows media player either.

However, even though I haven't seen the video, from your description it sounds like you have done a good job so far.

Call it a Turtle. But maybe a turtle moves faster.

They should build highways with line following capability, probly the left lane best, or even all the lanes and ramps, marking the line with "hot" paint, perhaps slightly radioactive, so they could have cars following the line, combine that with GPS, you could have lines of cars on "auto" heading east i.e. and save a lot of gas.
