Creepy Crawly Robots

The Kanibot Cyborg Vehicle Will Give You Technopohobia

— March 18, 2010 — Tech
If you don't like spiders, turn away now because if you're not a fan of arachnids to begin with, you won't like them with glowing red eyes and hydraulic legs. I, on the other hand, don't mind them one bit and happen to find the Kanibot Cyborg Vehicle a pretty wicked design.

I could see little robots like the Kanibot Cyborg Vehicle being commonplace in the future. Running around, picking up the trash, cleaning the streets--that sort of thing. On the other hand, this baby would make one cool little remote-controlled toy. Maybe designer Norio Fujikawa will be able to get these made pretty soon. I can think of no better way to scare my kid cousins than sneaking up on them with the Kanibot Cyborg Vehicle. I'm an evil man.
