   It's like a prototype for something out of Half-Life 2. Hail to our airborne biomechanical psuedosquid overlords!

   As soon as I saw it I thought "that must be German". Turns out I was right, and they're based 15 minutes away from my house.

   I wonder if this is what they mean when they say "German consumer confidence is high" ?

       Having used FESTO software, I'm amazed that someone actually built something that works with it.

       (Astoundingly bad UI + toolchain made up of incredibly crashtacular elements = KILL IT WITH FIRE!)

   For a second, I thought someone was planning a modern remake/reboot of The Prisoner.

   The water you drink is filtered by machinery actuated by solenoid valves manufactured by that company. I didn't know they were into odd RC vehicles as well.

   Frankly I'm a bit surprised that you for one did not welcome our new tentacled masters from the Elemental Plane of Air.

   It's for times like these that I wish I knew some words that were more descriptive than HOLY FUCKING SHITASS.

   I want to live in the same world that those do.

    Same company as our pneumatic overlords...

    Must be nice to work in the "cool tech-demo" division...

    The sweetly electric almost-but-not-quite Mack the Knife as a soundtrack is a nice touch.
