Homemade Robot Patrols Yard With Water Cannon

This is Steve Norris's Patrolbot Mark II. You can tell it's not CHUCK Norris's Patrolbot Mark II because your monitor didn't just explode. Are Chuck Norris jokes still fashionable? No? What about baggy sweaters? Patrolbot is a remote controlled security robot Steve uses to patrol his yard with a flashlight, night-vision camera, and water sprayer. What the hell Steve is patrolling for is beyond me, but he does spray a concrete rabbit sculpture at the end of the video. Hoho, you sure showed it! You hear that, garden gnomes? PATROLBOT KNOWS NO MERCY.

Hit the jump for a video demo.

Thanks to Aaron and Kevin, who patrol their yards the old fashioned way: hiding in the bushes with a shotgun.

  This is a video of Scott Martin (who receives two bonus points for the 'To Victory!' Dalek poster behind him) playing the bagpipes he and buddy Todd Medema made out of nothing but PVC, duct tape, and a plastic shopping bag. *eying Christmas tree* Apparently they were just ter... / Continue →
