robocopy you make it. I have horror stories, and we kept a very clean

when I was living down there.
Those things are NOT to be trifled with. Two-and-a-half inches of winged
evil.
Just a couple of points:
(1) My experience with cockroaches is almost exclusively with NY roaches
which I believe are from the family of "German" roaches and rarely reach one
inch in length (what New Yorkers call "waterbugs" are much larger bugs but
are rare -- these look somewhat like that roaches in the video but I can't
say
for sure since it's been a while since I saw one up and personal).
(2) I'm betting you're big fan of "Starship Troopers" and not for reasons
having
to do with either Robert Heinlein or Paul Verhoeven (also of Robocop fame).

OK, although this looks really interesting, I have one question: Don't
most people think cockroaches are super icky?
Perhaps. But that's why you have to emphasize the CYBORG part!
Remind folks that they'll be getting a shiny cyborg cockroach like
Robocop (if your students have never heard of Robocop, play the movie
for them -- it will warm them up to owning their own cyborg).
It's not a cockroach, it's a CYBORG!!!!
