Friday Videos Like Sweeping Foes with the Dust Pan

This is a bit of a long Friday Video at over 7 minutes, and it’s in Japanese with English subtitles, but it’s terrific. Fix yourself a cup of coffee and enjoy.

This one comes from Castiron, who wrote: Hebocon — in spite of the name, not a Jewish SF convention but rather a Japanese robot-building contest for people who are crap at building robots.

The parts you want to pay attention to, aside from the gleeful silliness of the whole freaking thing, is the supreme excitement that is the robot at 4:55.

Castiron adds, When that [robot] appeared on the screen, my husband said I should send this to SBTB. (We won’t discuss what this says about the things I share from you all.)

THIS IS SO FUN. Also, I’m a very big fan of young Tsukuru. Go Tsukuru!

I hope your weekend is filled with innovation and a lot of silliness!

    This is AMAZING. I was particularly struck by how adorable the dildo-caterpillar robot was. And then there was the WTF one that featured three three flailing barbies and…a gun I guess? I just don’t know. That one will haunt my dreams.

    This reminded me of the show BATTLEBOTS, where some of the most elaborate robots tended to do poorly (like a giant snake that just flopped around), while the simpler designs tended to win (like the wedge with wheels).

    And if three dildos only give “a sense of excitement,” I suspect they’re either defective or being used very wrong.

    I spent last SAturday a lego robotics competition. lol this is definitely anti that and not for kids.

  4. ZOMG, this is priceless — DD and I were in fits! DD was all ready to share this vid on the Facebook group her Japanese language teacher had set up for the class, but then Robo-Dildo made its debut… and she figured she’d better play it safe 😉

    This is the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life.

    My 12 year old watched this with me. Thank heaven he doesn’t know what a dildo is. So, so, much laughter. Awesome.

  7. […] video, which popped up on Smart Bitches, Trashy Books, is the best thing EVER.  Don’t believe me?  JUST […]
