We've got all ideas that whipping up an edible Wii (and a few controllers while you're at it) would make for a fantastic (albeit overtly geeky) shindig, but there's just something satisfying about a robotic cucumber hand that freaks out attendees that visit the snack table a tad too frequently. The creature, which was reportedly, um, prepared for an event hosted by a CMU computer scientist, primarily consisted of a number of edible parts, a servo, control arm, and a CMU Canary sensing / control platform. Truth be told, however, pictures can only explain so much, so feel free to click on through for a glimpse at this thing in action (and the entire recipe, too).[Via CNET]
At first glance I thought that was the other kind of green plant.
Looks weird, i wonder what's the usability of such techniques.
-2 points for not hiding the servo and rubber bands but neat idea none the less.
Such cool parties

This, my friends, is why it's good to have a girlfriend.
Obviously they do have girlfriends. Check out the indian girl in red. humma humma
Wow - that's 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back again.
The worst thing was when my wife in the next room over overheard the music and was curious as to what I was watching online - though it was porn. And what did I answer? "No, honey - just a bunch of guys at Carnegie Mellon fashioning a cucumber into a robot hand on a veggie platter." I don't if that was a better answer than just saying, "Yup - it's porn."
