Robot Mini

[Dman3d]

Check this out, a coworker of mine sent me this link asking me
if I thought it was real. Now, he is in school for engineering so we can
cut him some slack, also it is good work.

Lol, robot made from a mini, good stuff though.

Specifically look at the "Car stopping" test
The shadow of the bot is going one way and the car it is
catching is going the other.

Anyone know who made these?

hey...realy i think it's completly fake....

the robot seems to work really nice and only ONE video about the robot stopping a car ( pretty risky for a test...if it's fail..it's finish)...and the rest is kind of "statrek-like" video of traking...whith histogramm and stupid things...usually it's more brut !!!

the guy seems to be more like a garage guy...and it's design ( too nice, too hollywood like ) doesn't match...

copy-remake of the C4 ??

thanks for the link ! anyway...

Au début de l’année, j’ai découvert une page web plutôt sommaire (encore disponible sur www.r50rd.co.uk - si vous voulez y jeter un coup d’oeil) qui était le rendez-vous d’artistes de mêmes horizons fan de robotique. On pouvait y voir une Mini Cooper qui avait été transformée en un robot grâce au génie d’un vieil inventeur anglais. C’était vraiment très bien fait, mais j’avais comme un doute quant à la réalité de ce robot…… Voici l’entretien que nous a accordé l’homme qui a en fait donné vie à ce Mini-Robot grâce à l’image de synthèse : Jose Perez.

that's basicaly it... the guy behind this page....was CG of course
