May 20 2008More Robotic Death And Destruction, This Time Under The Guise Of "Disaster Relief"
The Disaster Relief Robot was designed by Daniel Shankland, the same sick bastard behind the Firefighting Robot. The two robots were "designed with the same core parts and then specialized for the tasks we wanted them to complete." In this case they're supposed to aid disaster relief. But let me ask you something -- does that picture really look like two robots involved in disaster relief? No, it doesn't. What it does look like is either A) two robots ravaging a city looking for color to eat or B) two robots battling each and destroying a city in the process. Neither of which paints a very colorful picture of the future (just look at it -- it's all black and white). You see what I'm getting at here? That's right, the robots of the apocalypse will be powered by ingesting color and leave the earth barren of pigment. *sniffle* I'll miss you periwinkle.
A bunch more pictures, including a close-up of the crotch, and an actual model of the thing, after the jump.

What if these robots go haywire and start demolishing cities? Mankinds only hope then is if Godzilla comes out of his slumber from Monster Island and completely f***s these robots up!

Oh for goodness sakes, you guys. Is this what men worry about? Robot invasions/apocalypse?
I think it's about time for "Fight Club" to become a reality; well, and the ability for a man to make a might fine soap WITH lye, but I digress.
But now it's time for me to go fight the invisible zombies I was telling you about...now THAT is scary.
P.S. What vagina are you seeing on this thing? I guess I'm just so immune to the excitement of seeing one that I miss them even if they present themselves.

Just to clarify, my name is Jordan Guelde and I am the designer of the Forest Fire "Clear Cut" robot (www.coroflot.com/JGuelde13). Daniel Shankland is the designer of the disaster relief robot....it was a team project.

Dear Jordan,
If on a day in the not-to-distant future, a woman named Sarah Connor knocks at your door and asks if she can speak to "Jordan", remember that the answer you are looking for is "No maam. Jordan doesn't live here anymore."
