Thirsty Hexaferretpod

Octopus

This little robot was performing tricks at a sci-fi convention in Japan last week. Six legs or not, it’s called “Octopus,” and I have absolutely no idea why it has a ferret (or an otter or a mink or something) on it, or what it wants with those cans of beer. Even without the stuffed animal, it’s capable of some neat little moves:

Not bad for one of the smallest hexapods we’ve seen… It should definitely enter the dance-off.
