GEEK TOY OF THE WEEK: INDUSTRIAL ROBOT CATAPULT

by Hazed

Take an industrial robot, normally uses in the car construction industry, add a sling and pop in a bowling bowl, and what do you have? A giant, robotic catapult! If you want to knock down some castle walls, this is definitely the way to do it.

In this case, though, the crazy guys who came up with this idea have set it up in the desert and are using their bowling bowls to pound an RV. Of course, there are videos on the web and you can watch them here and marvel at the inventiveness of mankind (with the emphasis on the word man!).
