"How To Drink And Still Wear A Mask": Geekologie Reader’s Killer Robot Costume

Want to pretend you’re a giant robot ? I will f***ing kill you. But if you’re determined to die by my hand go ahead and pick up a pair of $85 Giant Cardboard Robot Arms from Etsy seller giantcardboardrobot , then give me a call . I’ll be waiting drinking. Arm yourself with giant cardboard robot arms! Perfect for giant robot hugs, super high high-fives, & terrorizing small children. Customize them just for you! Cover them in stickers, paint them, glue stuff to them, or add lights. Treat your new arms as your cardboard canvas. Each arm is approximately 5′ 6″ in length (about 3 feet longer from where your hands will grab), 9″ x 9″ in width. The arms allow for both 90 bending motion in the elbows as well as 360 rotation of the wrist. The arms break down into easily assembled component parts. You know what they say about a guy with giant cardboard robot arms, don’t you? He’s trying to compensate for something . Probably not having a soul, since that’s what differentiates man from machine. I will burn your heartless ass alive, Wannabe-Bot! Now transform and roll out back while I find the lighter fluid. Hit the jump for three more shots and another link to the seller’s Etsy if you’ve really decided it’s your time to go.

Robotic Arms Have Come A Long Way. A Long, Much More Deadly Way (Hold Me)

Well folks, it looks like we’re starting Friday off entirely wrong with only stories from the robot front . I recommend running out for beer now so you can stay safely tucked away in your robot-shelter all weekend building a powerful burning laser blaster. I’m not even kidding. Anyway, this is the Dustbot from Italy — it comes to haul your refuse away. AND YOUR CHILDREN. MWUAHAHAHHAHAHA! What the hell’s wrong with me? The Dustbot can be summoned to your address through a mobile phone any time of the day. The robot works with a combination of GPS navigation and with a gyroscope to keep it upright. There are also a number of sensors on the machine so it does not bump into anything. Dustbot’s inventors say they hope it will put an end to fixed times for rubbish collection and they say it is designed to work in tightly packed urban areas where large refuse trucks find it difficult to operate. Anybody here live in Italy? Great, now I know this might sound crazy, but I want you to hear me out. I want you to call the Dustbot to your house. Still with me? Take a deep breath, you can change your drawls later. Now listen: when the Dustbot arrives I want you to pack that bitch full of explosives and kick it off a cliff into the ocean after chumming the water real good to attract sharks. TA-DA! — two birds stoned at once. Dustbot the street cleaning robot [bbcnews] Thanks to Dave Fancypants, who has Bedazzled the hell out of every pair of jeans he owns.
