Logging Spider Haunts My Dreams

Logging Walker

Okay, so even by my definition of robot (i.e. if I think it’s a robot, it’s a robot), this thing may not completely qualify. But there’s just something about it. Something sinister. I don’t know whether it’s the legs, the way it moves, or the scorpion tail with a decapitator on the end of it. If it ever figures out how to scuttle, I think it would seriously freak me out.

Yeah, eek.

Nice of you to talk about this machine in this blog. But for the sake of this resembling something like a robot… Shouldn’t you then also start discussing any modern car that has more electronic brains in it than most humans put together…?

Aside from that- this tool already walks around through them woods for some years, so why now suddenly…?

Okay- having said all that- now lemme think on how to remove this nightmare from MY dreams…. Where are those teasers from Wall-E…. ;-)

I will confess to taking some liberties when it comes to what exactly I write about on BotJunkie. I have to pick and choose, and sometimes pick cool stuff just because it’s cool. I mean, yeah, I COULD write about modern cars, but wouldn’t you rather I write about giant logging spiders instead? ;)

What Is BotJunkie?

From the folks who brought you OhGizmo.com, BotJunkie obsessively chronicles Man's inevitable descent into cybernetic slavery.

One robot at a time.
