Robotic Spider Steals Limelight
This robotic spider is the size of a small car (the operator sits on
top of it's thorax), has eight jointed legs, and in motion sounds like
a loud and rhythmnless tap dancer.
It stole the show at Old Red/New Red Day, an annual event that welcomes
Engineering alumni back to campus, where they get to do some
nostalgia-wallowing and meet students eager to find out all they can
about career path options.
Engineering Physics alumni Jonathan Tippett, Charlie Brinson, Lee
Christie and Alex Mossman bought along their mechanical spider,
originally conceived as an art project for Burning Man 2006.
