Crabfu strikes again with Tortoise RC bot

While they may be lacking in technical prowess, Crabfu bots never are lacking in charm, and this here remote controlled Tortoise bot charmed our very pants off. Video is after to the break, but be sure to be on your guard for Tortoise bot's war of attrition with an indifferent kitty -- you may just end up trouserless, and we can't be held responsible. Hrm, that didn't come out right.

Aw, it IS adorable. And so sad when it flips over and can't get up....

But what is it with the war of turtles vs. cats anyway?

Unamused kitty is unamused.

[Knight Posted Jun 22nd 2008 11:43AM]

Oblivious to lolcats dude is oblivious.

I can't believe I just wasted 4 minutes of my life watching that.

I can't believe I just wasted 4 seconds reading your post

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 22nd 2008 12:38AM]

No, I think you meant it to come out just as it did. Why that was how you wanted it, however, is unfathomable.

hah, nice ne

[inkmaster Posted Jun 22nd 2008 1:53AM]

You failed the test

[erk Posted Jun 22nd 2008 1:54AM]

I'd certainly echo what other have said about being able to setup a routine. I HATE having go back to the menu and pick my next exersise.

And in the mini games section... you have to press teh 'A' button 4X to just try that game again. Very frustrating expecially when you're playing a game that you don't need a wii-mote for and you want to try over and over again (like ski jump). It would have been great if they parked an 'A' button on the backside (maybe right of the power?) so you could just kick it...

Also be really cool when other games start using the balance board. Anybody else think Monkey Ball would be really fun with the board?? :)

umm..., wrong story?

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 22nd 2008 3:20PM]

Kitty:
I am Darth Vadar. I will bash your head in with this tray.

Smart cat, it knew it's some dumb human tricks.

[Bloo Posted Jun 22nd 2008 4:15AM]

The POV shot with him rotating the sticks makes my head hurt. I am used to flying RC planes and that would result in complete disaster.

[Mic2000 Posted Jun 22nd 2008 5:10AM]

This makes me feel wanna saying:

Kick the Baby!

[SOOPERGOOMAN Posted Jun 22nd 2008 7:37AM]

[(Unverified) Posted Jun 22nd 2008 8:41AM]

[timmy2000 Posted Jun 23rd 2008 9:22AM]

Are you sure this isn't a new military killing machine?
Strap a little C4 under the "Shell" and send the terrorists a little surprise.

I'm not sure why this is called a "robot" and not a "legged RC vehicle."
