"Electrohydromechanical monster robot" for sale
Posted by hipstomp | 17 May 2007  |  Comments (1)

robosaur2.jpg

Inventor Doug Malewicki, like Thomas Edison and Dean Kamen, has worked on a wide and odd variety of projects. While some have been benevolent (a mass transit monorail system, a recumbent bicycle that enabled his eight-year-old daughter to hit 30 mph) and others have been potentially sinister (a military jet pack, a "Droid of Death" unmanned aerial drone), his strangest invention of all is probably the Robosaurus, above.

ROBOSAURUS is the most incredible man made monster ever conceived. He was designed to grip, lift, crush, burn, bite and throw...full size cars and airplanes around with ease!

This 40 foot tall electrohydromechanical monster robot weighs 58,000 pounds and is totally controlled by a human pilot strapped inside the monster's head.

The Robosaurus toured North America starting in 1990 and packs up into a trailer, meeting all U.S. Highway specifications. Retired in 2006, it's now for sale! So if your neighbor keeps parking his SUV in front of your driveway, here's a decisive way to end that dispute once and for all.

thanks Porter!

Crazy!! This thing came to Sydney, Australia in the early 90's as well!! For Sydney Royal Easter Show. I remember it well and the pile of "pre-crushed" cars it used to eat!!

Cool,
Anders
