22-foot tall robot crafted entirely from excess styrofoam

Building a big robot is nothing to congratulate yourself on, but doing it in that manner is certainly worthy of a little self-indulgence. The creature you see standing before you is a 22-foot tall Styrobot constructed entirely from spare polystyrene packing materials, and no, each piece didn’t just show up that way.

Michael Salter managed to whittle absent on that beast until its completion, and now we’re hearing that it’ll be going on a short demonstration tour before being “decommissioned.” We say throw a brain in there and see what happens when you cut it loose.
