Japanese Professor Builds Fantastically Impractical Anti-Wasp Robot

[Withall]

For the love of.... JAPAN! STOP MAKING ROBOTS!

 

[KeyMaster45]

I see that Japan remains the ever faithful customer to the ACME corporation. I imagine for a project of this scale though they were smart enough to consult Dr. E. Coyote, yes?

Could be worse... at least it's human form... you have seen some of the anime that comes out of Japan right? Imagine if he took inspiration from some of the things in there... I shudder at the thought of some of those things be turned into killbots.

 

[Lord Legion]

That's just the prototype stage, the next design will be 100 feet tall, have a jet pack and ten miniguns firing incindiary rounds.

but you know, this could be reaaaally creepy. Imagine the robot just jerkily walking at someone and spraying them in the face with the poison. All with that perfect hair.

 

[Prince Regent]

It's a good thing that Japan is far far away.

 

[CrystalShadow]

Hah, if you want to take on a Japanese wasp, you use a Japanese bee. Or a few thousand of them!


SWARM MY PRETTIES!

Holy Crap!

Suddenly JRPG enemies make a lot more sense.

Seriously, I've come across so many giant wasps in them... But considering Japan has actual 5cm long wasps... Doesn't seem so strange anymore. XD

Not only is this less practical than an RC helicopter sprayer (by a LANDSLIDE), it's actually less cool. I would much rather see a wasp battling RC chopper

I'm really getting tired of the whole 'robots will be the end of us' attitude of the articles here. It was mildly amusing the first 4 or 5 times. But [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104154-Cyborg-Uses-Rat-Brain-Cells-to-Control-Robot] since [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102047-South-Korea-Deploys-Killer-Robots] then [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/100705-Japanese-Couple-Married-by-Robot] it [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/98928-Japan-Makes-More-Human-Robot] has [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/102185-Japan-Completes-Latest-Killer-Robot-Assures-Our-Doom] become [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/97177-Robot-Hand-Is-Agile-and-Slightly-Creepy] somewhat [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104390-Robot-Punches-People-to-Learn-Asimovs-Laws] overused [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/104311-Arent-Robots-Guarding-Nuclear-Sites-a-Bad-Idea].

Further proof that any problem, no matter how inane, should be solved by an advanced, humanoid, bipedal robot.

 

[Boba Frag]

All this guy needs is a dog named Gromit.

I bet he has a passion for cheeses, as well.

I love these mad stories.

 

[Evilsanta]

A robot? I thought they would atleast make a gaint mech or something...

Still its kinda of cool though i would use a flamethrower instead.

BURN! MOHAHAHA!

 

[Verlander]

Hah, if you want to take on a Japanese wasp, you use a Japanese bee. Or a few thousand of them!


SWARM MY PRETTIES!

That's incredible, cheers

 

[GLo Jones]

Plus, I'm not entirely sure that teaching a robot to kill is such a good idea.

Will you guys EVER stop making the skynet joke?

Hah! My first confirmed ninja post.

 

[Fr]anc[is]

Those crazy Japanese... the world would be much more boring without them

 

[SaunaKalja]

I bet the robot also doubles as his girlfriend.

(U jelly?)

 

[_Cake_]

it's just an excuse to get funding for his love-bot.

I disagree; speaking as someone who freaks out around bees, I'd buy an Alucard-like anti-wasp robot in a flash. Also, if you're referring to hentai tentacles, those would probably be pretty effective against bee hives too.
