Man builds giant robot in backyard
Alright, this guy is officially our new hero. He's building an 18-foot tall robot (or "mecha") in the backyard of his home in Anchorage, Alaska. The anime-inspired behemoth is actually a giant exoskeleton that you jump into and ride, letting you take eight-foot strides or, presumably, fight invading aliens. He hopes to have it finished by next summer and will demonstrate it by demolishing a few cars at the local racetrack. Somebody, please send us video.
[Thanks, Dana]
