I don't like spiders, but that is pretty cool robotics given the whole programming and everything that has to coincide with it all....
One of my coworkers is deathly afraid of spiders. I'd love to have one of these, and have it "crawl" out from under his desk. He'd likely shit himself. [evil]
^ That's damn funny!
One of my best friends from childhood feels the same way about snakes. I've collected several awesome real looking fake snakes over the years just for his torment and our entertainment. [evil] Every few years one of them "appears" on our dove hunts at my buddy's west TX ranch.
On one hunt the best one was planted under a bush with a small rock hidden under it's neck so it would seem as if it's head was raised looking up at you. This was in our old camping out days years ago. We had a nice outdoor crapper about 100 yards from camp on a hillside with a nice view of the valley. The snake was sitting under the bush a few feet away. One morning nature finally called to our friend and off he went with a cup of coffee in hand.
Of course as soon as he was out of range we all busted out laughing knowing what was next. It seemed like an eternity but finally came the scream and then the cussing. He had been frozen in fear on the crapper for a long time after he saw the snake. He started kicking rocks at it knowing he couldn't sit there forever and it fell off the rock that had been propping it up. That's when the cussing began. [laugh] [laugh]
There have been other "snake attacks" but that was by far the funniest and best. He says I'll burn in hell for it but it was worth it. [thumbsup] [popcorn]
That's a really cool robot spider in the video. I'd give anything for a snake version. ;)
