A giant-mantis robot with hydraulic legs has been unveiled by a designer who spent four years creating it.

Matt Denton, from Hampshire, estimates his "very expensive toy" has cost him hundreds of thousands of pounds.

It's only got 6 legs, so it's not a spider.

And he spent hundreds of thousands of pounds on it so he's an utter bellend. I hope it comes to life and kills him.

Slower than Jelavic that, no agility at all. Maybe it would be best behind the striker?

It's cool.... but, well, if you have the money to waste I guess...

 

[ijjysmith]

Could have given all that money to charity.

Nobhead.

He is probably saying to the people giving money to charity: "Could have used all that money building a giant spider!"

Some people have more money than sense.

This proves that old adage.

The great big wazzock.

I didn't see much evidence of it actually being able to walk/do anything half decent.

 

[mrs the esk]

At least it doesn't bite !

 

[FTY]

It does look pretty cool though.

 

[Bungle]

1mph though? Really? Hundreds of thousands of pounds and it does 1mph?

Poor effort.
