1 million to make a robot.

1 million is a lot.

But not enough to make a robot which can use lifts and climb the stairs.

Especially when-

1) You need your own sponsors.

2) It must be autonomous.

3) The chance of failure is insanely high.

Seriously, I think creating such an advanced robot would earn much much more in other countries. Especially in rights and stuff. We're talking of something along the lines of a Gundam here.

So....
