Japanese Professor Builds Fantastically Impractical Anti-Wasp Robot

[Grahav]

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


SWARM MY PRETTIES!

This is where game developers should get their ideas, like come on this is nature at its best!

Vorpal wasps...

and fire bees that cause cumulative damage.

 

[tzimize]

All this guy needs is a dog named Gromit.

Hehe. Japan. What a wierd country.

It's actually quite surprising that there hasn't been a Japanese inventor yet to create a pair of robot trousers.

Now that you mention it...

:O

It really is...



I wonder if they are hiding it...

I played that without sound. It looks like some strange music video...
And it will haunt my dreams.

Seriously though, props to that man. Why build something normal size when you can build it 10 times as big?

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

But rather than build a remote controlled helicopter with a can of bug spray strapped to it, or something equally simple

I think you basically solved this problem...

 

[Celtic_Kerr]

Well i like to think that many a person including mister Sekine likes to make simple projects into complicated expensive time-wasting tools that will only work once. On the other had he is probably doing this just to show off his manly brain power!

I hear an echo of "Rube GOldberg!" In this post

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?

We can always hope, but xconsidering the TV show and new terminator movie, I don't really think they will.

I'm starting to think Japan is less messed-up from the bombs, and more from the horrible insects that rule the nightmare-scape of the Japanese people.

The Asian giant hornet kills more people in Japan than snakes, bears and sharks, and presumably, sharktopuses.

Anti WASP as in White AngloSaxon Protestant ?

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.

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.

I hate bees, wasps, spiders, basically all bloody bugs, but personally I think a model scale Apache helicopter with some bug spray and tiny rockets would work better.

Scientists, for the love of God, DO NOT TAMPER WITH THE GENES OF THESE THINGS!!! That is one scary bunch of Bees. And the Hornets are pretty intimidating too.

 

[HentMas]

OMG

just dont leave a broad sword near that thing

he might become sentient and start the end of the world!!!

No, the Sharktopus is still the number one killer in Japan.

 

[Twilight_guy]

Hey, we need something to help keep bees from stinging people... what can you think of?
How about a robot... A humanoid robot... that will spray them... AND HAS A MOHAWK OH YEAH!
...I'm just going to go now.

Seriously, this has to be one of the dumbest robot designs ever. This is more a kin to Pesticideman! the new megaman robot master then an actual good idea.

 

[Rayansaki]

He was probably making a sex robot, and when people found out about it he just changed the way it worked

You know those mosquito-killing lasers, the ones experimented with in third world countries to reduce malaria? I'd say scale them up to kill bees (though keep their anti-mosquito capacity, of course), and give them the ability to plaster up nests.

I just took an untimely trip into the uncanny valley.

And if you want to take on a japanese bee...

You'll need a goddamn cazador.

Oh man, we ARE fucked.
