interesting robots

scanning my list of regular sites, i found a story on it's nice that about the eske rex drawing machine
you can watch the video of the machine in action via the link above, but better at the eske rex site as it opens into a big screen

the crazy wonkiness of the movement reminded me of a walking machine i'd seen several months ago. i was just wondering where i'd find the website for this, when i found a story about it on another favourite site, my love for you is a stampede of horses
it is the strandbeest, by theo jansen
jansen has made lots of these kinetic beach-walking sculptures (put standbeest in google images!) what a wild world. how interesting people are.


i was thinking the other day, that kids are little dynamo packages of potential, you don't know what they'll come up with, or who they'll become. real life "transformers".


it's exciting
