Attack of the 50-foot robot… made of flowers

The Rose Parade. What can we say about it, except that we might actually be tempted to watch this year due to the presence of one certain 50-foot tall robot (skinned in flowers, of course) that we'll hoping will inevitably rebel against its human masters and take over the parade route in an orgy of chlorophyll and destruction. Designed by NASA's JPL and Caltech to commemorate the year in robotics, we were naturally a little disappointed the thing doesn't walk,
but at least they took the time to make it look like how NASA would have designed Optimus Prime (though the concept art is a little more reminiscent of an early-Elton Johnbot). Tip: please at least fire petunia missiles into the crowd,
thanks.
