Robosapien V2, now with flame thrower

It's nice to have a walking, talking robot with a gastro-intestinal disorder and all, but the one thing Robosapien V2 has always lacked is the ability to rage mayhem like his pet. No more! Some firestarter, twisted firestarter has hacked a "flame thrower" onto the unsuspecting bot who seems a tad perplexed by his new powers of destruction. No deets yet on how to apply the hack, but you can check the sneak peak video for the results. Hey Flameosapien, why not use your powers for good (like, say, plumbing) instead of acting on your nature to oppress our kind, hmm?

Now that's clasic! Nothing like an extra set of hands when do some hanyman work around the house.

Props for the Prodigy reference.

And it looks like he rigged one of those Bernz-O-Matic Bunsen Burner/Grill Lighters to it.

Kick ass!

hard to torch anything if your robot is too afraid to walk around. I think he needs a sparker too, in case he 'flames out'.

Someone should put one of these is the Robo-raptor's mouth!

That is possibly the coolest thing on this planet. If instructions get out on how to do this, and they turn out to be easy, i am sooo getting a robosapian.

[John Doe @ Jun 16th 2006 10:15AM]

I for one welcome our robot overlords

[Michael @ Jun 16th 2006 10:45AM]

I...wait, threefingeredlord already said what I was going to say.

In fact, I'll buy two, and battle my girlfriend. (Somehow, I think she'd be interested in doing that. O.o; )

Brings new meaning to the term "Computer Flame Warzzz." Da dun cssh!

A force to be reckoned with combined with this: http://sourceforge.net/potm/potm-2005-05.php

I have to have that! Doesn't get much better than incendiary robots:)

Psychosomatic addict insane!!!

Ahhh, prodigy...

[Big Ice D @ Jun 16th 2006 2:32PM]

the remote controlled car( as robotic as that Plastic body on a Robosapien IMHO) in The Dead Pool was was much more destructive, and had a cooler co-star and theme song.

[Pete Avila @ Jun 16th 2006 3:02PM]

Robot wus cool but the video sucked! Only got half way through it. All it did wus move back and forth...

[Landincoldfire @ Jun 16th 2006 3:12PM]

The idea is cool enough, but needs work. Having an electronic spark system would handle light-ups and re-lights. And he needs to move around, the bot looks like he's afraid of the flame....

[Perrey Z. @ Jun 16th 2006 4:39PM]

wow! that's cool me want one!

[d3 @ Jun 17th 2006 12:28PM]

Use his powes for good? Sure he can. As a walking fondue pot!

[Sylvain Robichaud @ Jun 17th 2006 8:59PM]

WOW could bring me a- insert flamming drink name here- and set it aflame right at the right time!!! COOL or rather HOT!!!

[Marcus @ Jun 22nd 2006 8:32AM]

The robot does have an elecric ignition system which is a 9v gas igniter. I'm waiting on a couple of RF parts to add to the remote so I can ignite it remotely. Should be up and running properly in a couple of weeks, followed by a video of V2 Burninating various objects.

[Justin Brenner @ Jul 17th 2006 8:44AM]

Burninate the peasants!

I could use him to teach my pets some manners.

What happens when he gets a virus?

*cue insanely long Prodigy reference monologue*

Looks like this Baby's Got A Temper... maybe I could use him to Smack My Bitch Up. I wonder if it runs on Diesel Power? If nothin' else, the army could send this little guy out into Minefields to blow shit up. All hail the god of the Voodoo People!
