Robosaurus

Posted by michael on from the truckasaurus-already-taken dept.

wpiman writes "The US airforce released this picture of Robosaurus at an airshow. Robosaurus is a purely entertainment robot that stands some 40 feet tall and weighs 30 tons. It can pick up cars, bite them in half, and spits fire. No- it does not appear to run linux." If you look closely, you can just make out Homer and Marge in the car.

    Why is this being posted to Slashdot? The Robosaurus has been making the rounds at monster truck rallies for a few years now. It was even featured in one of the final scenes of the movie Waking Up in Reno. It's not even very interesting -- just a big crane made to look like a dinosaur.
