A 25 foot-long, 5,000 pound, car-crushing robotic hand comprised of scrap and recycled parts, recently shown at Robodock, may meet its ironic demise with a trip back to the scrapyard. Untrained volunteers at the Robodock festival seized the opportunity to handle the tech-art piece, manhandling and crushing shopping carts and automobiles. Post-festival, the creators ideally wanted to take the hand on tour, but due to it's monstrous weight and size, the most cost-effective option is sell it back to the junkyard, that is, unless a wealthy patron of the nerd arts gives a better offer.
