Robotic Arm Creates Super-Intricate Sand Sculptures
This is a video of a robotic arm that sprays a mixture of sand and water and some sort of adhesive to create these intricate, organic-looking sculptures. I don't know about you, but if I saw a robotic arm making sand castles on the beach I'd bury it and then give it a big ol' sand peen. Wait, no -- a SMALL one.

This is a video of a sign-flipping robot employed by a Little Caesar's franchise in Tacoma, Washington. Except he's not so much of a sign-flipper as he is a sign-wiggler. Also, I like how they have him chained to a tree in anticipation of some college frat stealing him for th... / Continue →
