Cheese on crackers, would it be fun to work at the eatART robotics collective in Vancouver. In addition to building awesomely biomimetic vehicles like Mondo Spider, they’re currently working on Titanoboa, a mechanical recreation of the 50-foot-long, one-ton prehistoric snake of the same name.

Here’s a video of these machines (almost) colliding — it’s like real-world Enthiran! Finally, a He-Man plot I wrote as kindergarten fan fiction nearly two decades ago now exists in Canada. And here are some other less intimidating snake robots.
