crazy walking sculptures/wood things

go here and click on film under the strandbeast picture also check this out, click on the large image of the rhinoceros transport.

Very few robots move this fluidly and these things are made out of recycled wood and powered by the wind!

Wow, very interesting stuff, thanks for the link!

They look like hyper-intricate versions of that rolling thing you can make out of a used thread reel, matchstick and elastic band

that stuff is pretty crazy, the photo section of the first site has a ton of pics...i looked up some articles on google about this guy, he's pretty crazy dude, apparently he wants to make a bunch of these and let them just 'live' on the beach.

Most of the pics on the first site all have horribly repeating textures on the ground.

go to photogallery on the left of the page then click strandbeest on the top, much better pics that arent renders

Mongrelman · Feb 2006

Wheels are just SO 20th century.

Really cool stuff.

wow...that is really weird looking. It makes me wish I understood engineering a bit better, so I could make something like that.

As far letting them roam free on the beach? All you need is one drunk with matches and a vendetta towards interestng things, and they're toast.

As for letting them roam free on the beach? Next thing you know they'll be coming into the towns, making a nuisance shoplifting and eating people.
