LEADERSHIP QUOTE OF THE DAY (23 May 2012): You gain STRENGTH| COURAGE AND CONFIDENCE by every experience in which you really stop to look fear in the face. You must do the thing you think you cannot do. - Eleanor Roosevelt

MAN MADE

ROBOSAURUS

It’s not all stardom and glamour for our robotic friend though; underneath all of that welded steel is a complex mishmash of hydraulic, electrical and mechanical technology that requires the operator to juggle controls with their entire body. From their cockpit inside Robosaurus, they are connected by a fly-by-wire Waldo system (think Ripley’s forklift in Aliens) with their fingers controlling the claws, jaw, head, neck, body, ears and fire; their arms controlling Robo’s arms; and their feet controlling the speed.

If this sounds like a bit of fun, you might be interested to learn that on January 19, Hays is putting Robosaurus up for sale by worldwide auction at barrett-jackson.com. Yes, if you’ve ever dreamed of owning a fire-breathing mechanical dinosaur, Robosaurus might be just the thing. It’s going to cost, however. Hays estimates that in today’s dollars, Robosaurus cost him US$5,000,000 to make. And that’s what he reckons it will go for.

What You’re Bidding On:

Your 12-metre high mechanical dinosaur comes with:
•   Full show equipment
•   Three racing radios (2 channel FM w/headsets)
•   Remove control special effects board
•   Telex transmitter and receiver system
