Video: Little Big Man -- today is a good day to die

We both fear and heart our cuddly, skull crushing robotic overlords here at Engadget; that we can't deny. Now meet the work of Nemo Gould, artist of post-consumer waste, liege, and robot supreme commander. His latest work entitled Little Big Man is on display at the San Jose Museum of Art for the new Robots: Evolution of a Cultural Icon show. The 8-foot tall Big Man is made from a vintage radio cabinet, street light poles, and of course, antlers among other human scrap and squander. Little Man sits at the heart of the beast and pulls the levers which drive the malice from within. Check the video clip after the break.

Are the antlers for goring human babies?

Guys guys guys, let's not jump the gun here.

Clearly this robot is not evil. It's face looks evil, but that is merely due to it's pain from indigestion. The smaller robot was swallowed with the purpose of soothing the pain of the larger one. It is doing its best to reduce heart burn and indigestion in the poor robot's stomach.

*Off camera: d.d.did I say that ri..i..right? please don't kill me with your antle... agghul/\R.;ALG;TI94THK\R9U9*

That doesn't make sense, This reminds me of... This Robot = Not so much...

Did you think that through??

[timmy2000 Posted Apr 14th 2008 9:04AM]

My goof,
I meant ... this robot = not so much, as if to say its a display no different then Santa Clause and his elves in workshop they set up at the local mall at Christmas, not much of a Robot, more link a prop.

I, for one, welcome our robot overlords.

Awesome! This plays on our intuitions that even robots need a homunculus!
