What is with Engadget and killer robot jokes?
GGGGGGGGODZILLA
Now, they never used the word killer anywhere. Maybe when you cut it loose it would give everyone a great big hug! Way to be a robot racist Fome.

Pftht, EVE would take him down in one shot.
add led eyes
That's got to be the coolest thing I've seen all year.
...It's been a slow year.
I think he should light it on fire and melt it from the bottom up
fumes might be troublsome though...

I, for one, welcome our new towering styrofoam robot overlord.
nice
i agree with you fully
lol, what is that a gorilla-bot
I can tell you who is a gorilla, your mom.
let's make an Engadget Middle Schooler edition for all the kiddies.

We'll have to put lots of grown-ups into "middle schooler" part. Not everyone grows up with age...
Isn't that what G***odo is for?
its been done.
Why yes, yes it has. There is even a picture of it with this post. The picture itself is proof that you are correct.
I want one.
It will stand in my front yard and I shall call it "Bill". I will later shoot it with a cannon.
I saw this live. And yes, it was really cool. (Not the coolest at the gallery, but...)
Why? I don't hate him...
Is it sad that I can tell that the piece of styrofoam with the holes in it under its head is from the packaging of a MacBook?
Wait, I'll just answer that myself. Yes, yes it is.
It was a good concept, but its attempts at being a vicious killer robot were foiled by the fact that you could hear the squeaky noises it made when its thighs rubbed together from a mile away.
That perforated breast plate is from a Mac Book.
I'm just sayin.
This is the giant robot from the movie called "Castle in the Sky" or a one of the Giants from Shadow of the Colossus !
THAT is seriously fuckin' cool. Nice one!
All hail the mighty styro-bot, quick, if veryone befriends it, it may not take over our planet with its evil styro-friends!
All hail the great Styro-bot, quick everyone, if we befriend it now, it may not take over our planet and enslave us with its army of styro-nians!
I hope it doesn't rain when they take it on the tour.
That guy's gonna make a nice batch of homebrew napalm someday...
I'd prefer a 22-foot tall styrofoam Cloverfield monster.
any video of it in motion? what kind of robotics are in it?

Calling this a robot implies it's more than a sculpture. This is as much of a robot as a picture of your grandmother is your grandmother.
great, now the packaging is finished... bring on the robot that goes inside it.
I saw this at the San Jose Museum of Art a few months back. You really cannot appreciate how big/ intricate/ painstaking this is until you stand at it's feet.
I say saddle im up to a deep sea submersible and see what happens after a trip to the bottom of the Marianas Trench.
It's pointing at me help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i see a macbook Styrofoam thing for the chest grill
Saw this at the San Jose Museum of Art a couple of weeks ago. Really cool, except it's very easy to get paranoid that you're going to trip, bump it, and make it all come crashing down..............
LOL!
