come home to viewThere ’s only one matter well than robots that can destroy things : robots that can destroy things and terrify people by firing flameballs , bowling nut , watermelon and fucking grunter entrails at high speed . Like the Robopult , a gigantic $ 70,000 industrial robotic arm hack to throw all these thing like a Terminator version of Roger Clemens . We talked with Aaron Rasmussen about how the heck they managed to get an industrial robot and some of the detail of this dotty project :
Jesus Díaz : How the heck did you get your hand on a giant industrial robotic arm ?
Aaron Rasmussen : My Quaker had it for his company , and it was caught in some sort of account limbo . So he agreed to let us use it if we did n’t erupt it . We had to give it back after , sadly . That robot go bad for about $ 70,000 .
JD : OK , so that was free . What about the toll for the whole project ? I saw that you “ rented ” ( buy and return ) an HD tv camera for destitute from Fry ’s …
AR : The total cost was actually only about $ 1,000 , or about $ 1,220 if you count the tv camera that gets strike by the bowling ball :
• Truck lease : $ 716.13
• Gas for hand truck $ 72.86
• Bowling Balls $ 60.00
• The cop entrails , water for us , carrots , Citrullus vulgaris , eggs and such occur to around : $ 100
• We found scrap parts for the catapult branch
• We traded computer services for the heavy equipment ( Skylife and tractor ) .
• The RV motor home van was a junker from a friend of a ally .
Looking at the full TV , it seems like the best style to pass a weekend and $ 1,000 with friends . I in person ca n’t hold off for some kind of optical maser weapon version . [ Mana ]
