Soft Robot Walking and Crawling

5 Dec 2011
This doesn't really seem that menacing. They could definitely up the menace here.

It does seem designed for rectal excursions, though, which has a menace all its own.

Previously, previously, previously, previously, previously.

    The menace comes in when you imagine it extruding needles from the tips of its pseudopods.

    It reminds me of a variety of kinds of parasitic worms. That's menace enough, thanks.

    Did I just watch two minutes of a robot doing The Worm?

      You just watched two minutes of a Worm Robot.

      That alone is no cause for concern. After they add a gaping mouth and release prototypes in the desert, stay the hell away from Phoenix and Las Vegas.

    *Excursions*? Incursions, surely?

    I felt sorry for it at the end when it clearly got tired.

    On the other hand, the menace aspect doesn't get too scary until the (off-screen) air supply and computer are on-board.

    Needs two things to be creepier:
    1) Squishy sound effects
    2) Video of it incursing upon rectal-exam-bot's nether regions.
