Argggg get me an ARMATRON

(an MD421 wouldn't hurt either)

You should use your drinkbot knowledges to build your own armbot yo.

For some reason it just occurred to me that i want to build a machine that would chuck my cab into the audience with great destructive force.

This however is only tangentially related to armbot. It is in fact more closely related to a thought i had at work where a coworker was driving a fork truck around moving pallets and whatnot, and it suddenly occurred to me that as fantastic as a fork truck is, it would really put the thing over the top, if one would modify it to be able in addition to lifting and moving things, to chuck them across the warehouse, well, with great destructive force.

Also there is the basic but more easily remedied fact that the forks aren't nearly sharp enough in their unmodified form.

I like how the dudes fucking ran for their lives as soon as they started it up.

They should post the unedited video, where the thing catches, and then tears the dudes apart.

Also, that wailing chainsaw sound it makes really does make them a little more terrifying than they would be i think, if they were silent/electric. If it was just a slightly lower pitch, it would be the perfect soundtrack to human extinction-by-force. IMO.

It's pretty sick when it's moving, yeah.

But it sounds like a weed whacker. That shit should be powered by something cooler than a two stroke engine.

Yeah, but think about how it would sound if there were thousands of them going.

Mixed with the chorus of human screams.

Like a swarm of vicious hornet-dogs.

It would probably sound pretty brutal if they had tank engines in them though. V12 shit.

Oooh, or even better, they should have these, 600hp, inline five cylinders:



They have that disconcerting thing going on where it has kind of two pitches going at once. And they sound so pissed off about it.

So, uh, yeah, this just happened:

You should of course recognize, the company that was acquired.

Evidently i am the only one who takes these last words as more of a threat than anything else "cute" or "sad":
