Hey Xybram Check Out This Robot

Chris,
I saw this and thought of you. This is really cool.


Probably the coolest robot design ever crafted. [VIDEO]

I just thought of something: I posted this for Chris, but the poor guy is probably out of power.

Your right, he probably is. I hope he and his family fared well during this crazy storm, and he gets back on here soon with an update.

Pretty sure Chris is still off the grid. I got an e-mail from him yesterday, streets in his area are not passable, so might be awhile before he is on to see this.

The robot looks pretty cool though :-)

Looks sinister. I can imagine it snipping off toddler's fingers. Looks too much like a spider.
