Meet 'Prosthesis', the terrifying 14ft-tall 'anti-robot

[lars63]

Prosthesis is an 'exo-bionic racing robot' that is controlled by a human pilot sitting inside it
The human sits at the center of the machine, and moves their arms to control it
According to the creators, it can hit speeds of more than 30 km per hour

A 14-foot-tall exo-bionic racing robot could soon be tearing across the Nevada desert.
Exhibitors revealed the massive Prosthesis bot at CES 2017 in Las Vegas today, and they say it can hit a top speed of roughly 20 miles per hour – and despite its imposing size, it’s nearly silent when it moves.
The 7,700lb ‘anti-robot’ is controlled by a human pilot who stands at the center of the mechanical exoskeleton, using arm movements to drive it forward at terrifying speeds. More:

That would appear great for riot control....Wait... No... Molotov cocktails wouldn't be nice at all.

Friend of mine has a deal with that artist where he's allowed to 3D print tiny versions of Strandbeesten, they split the tiny profit they make - so if you've always wanted one you can now realize that dream

That's neat, Ryoki . Do those versions move with the wind like the big Strandbeesten? Does he have a site or some other contact?

[Ryoki]

No clue to be honest.

Here's his site: http://www.voronoi.nl/

I see. Really cool! 3D printing at its finest. But way too expensive for the gag.
