Rednecks build spider mech!
BackI have no idea who these guys are, but they managed to build an 8-legged, gas-powered spider mech in their spare time. Screw NASA and DARPA - turn them over to rednecks plus Burt Rutan and we'll have a Mars colony and Robotech in 10 years.

Approximately 1,000,000 beers were consumed during the making of the spider mech.

Why do the legs look like CGI?

Ok, i didn't expect it to work that well. that's simply science at it's best. you know, real Mechs are in the making nowadays in Japan by several companies but are expected to be used commercially in about 20 years, due to the fact that they're too slow n bulky 4 the job (moving heavy objects, moving debris, etc). but who knows?:) this is a job well done! nice vid!

if a redneck can do it, an overweight little master mind boy can make one too.

dude
this is pretty awesome
because not many people can do this on their own
maybe nasa can do better but who cares this is a pretty good feat

Like Yoruyonaka said, this isn't a real feat. If the legs pivoted independently and actively leveled the cockpit over uneven terrain it would be more impressive.

It is a real fea. It's not a autonomous spider robot but it works and it works pretty well for something built in a garage.

Thing needs better traction, and more clearance to handle rough terrain. THEN it would be damn awsome. Fix the sound problem. Mount a paintball turret or something, and you got a badass piece of work.
