Robohand crushes cars. Robohand flings cars into the audience.
O.K., so it just crushes them and then sort of picks them up and drops them again. But put it this way: no-one in their right mind goes anywhere near Robohand. Jonathan Shekter did, however, and reports back on his experiences of the 2.5-ton monster manipulator.
Shown off at Amsterdam's Robodock 2007, the massive, Terminator-like arm was built by Doyle Shuge, Justin Gray, Conrad Karlson and Jens Schendel, and operated by Kouji Kabuto. Its destiny, however, isn't human domination, but the scrap-heap—a "perfectly normal death" for exhibits at the show.
