Make your Robosapien into a Flamosapien

We're not entirely sure it jibes with the guide to robot ethics, but there's no denying that the flamethrower add-on is one of the most impressive Robosapien hacks we've ever seen. The folks at Evosapien.com must've sensed our enthusiasm, because they posted a step-by-step tutorial showing how the potentially home destroying bot was built. Because of the incredible risk involved, we don't recommend anyone actually build their own, but we encourage you to read along as a barbecue lighter and some cheap electronic parts transform an otherwise friendly robot into the ultimate enemy of eyebrows. Just hope some overzealous enthusiast doesn't teach his Lego brained bot to read internet tutorials, as that could be very bad for humankind as we know it.

Now this would be a reason for me to buy one. Now all we need is way to replace the hand with a fork so we can roast marshmallows or even hot dogs

I, for one, welcome our new flame-throwing robotic overlords

Hey Ken, the 1 month old one didn't have the step by step guide...

Anyways this might be the single biggest threat to mankind...

Or the single biggest threat to geekdom.
