I was going to make a further self-indulgent post about this being the 500th! Of course, when I saw the robot multi-media extravaganza, I was working, and just put up a quick link-post. At least it was a GOOD LINK POST.
So anyways, let me explain, if you have not heard of the robotic displays of Survival Research Labs, or the super impressive Robochrist Industries , we're not talking about things that can walk up stairs, play the trumpet, and do cute little robo-dances to Coldplay. We're talking massive destructo-bots, made of steel, belching out smoke, with massive hydraulic claws and chainsaws, and pneumatic harpoons.
The most impressive at the last performance was the robotic hovercraft. About twelve feet long, with two turrets of dual fire cannons. They were powered by massive tanks of...butane? methane? propane?...I dunno, but the thing was floating around shooting these extremely loud blasts of heat and blue flame, that made people cover their ears. With all the smoke and strange fumes belching from just about everywhere, and the omni-present sputtering of compressors and engines...(not to mention the destruction of everything) it's quite a visceral experience.
Anyways, at the end, this guy drove up on a forklift, holding a massive flame-thrower, and just torched everything. Like, a thirty foot blast of flame...that even set the hovercraft's weapons on fire. Even I thought that seemed a little dangerous.
Well, at least this time I got some pictures I can post up, when I get off my lazy ass. The link's got a ton of media, so go check it out. Or if yer nearing El-Ay, swing by the Casa Aloha, I'll show you the five minutes of video I got b-4 my battery went out. It's pretty fucking great.
P.S. - I just watched the stuff on the link, my shots are like 50 times greater than that. I don't, however, have the means to capture and post said material. For now, you'll just have to see it in person.
