Recently it being my birthday and my parents not knowing what to get me, they decided to get me this He is an articulated disembodied monkey head with touch sensors, light/movement sensors, stereo hearing and about 8 motors in his face to make his lips, eyebrows, head, mouth and eyes move independently. He is also programmable and can act as a guarddog. More info about him can be found here + a video showing him in action. He is pretty freaky, but what he needed was wheels. Luckily i just happened to have a roomba, so in a flash of inspriation the technology convergence that is the screaming monkey robot vacuum cleaner was born. It had to happen.

The horrors that science shall bestow upon us are only hinted at through your experiment. u suck paterson fucked around with this message at 23:57 on Jan 16, 2006 |

Oh Jesus christ that's disturbing.quote:Just don't make him angry as he will snarl, growl and scream. He can be calmed down by stroking or patting his head; but use caution when touching his ears or the back of his head, for that might make for one ferocious creature. You're going to die.

you lucky lucky sonofabitch. You have no idea how much I would love to have a articulating robotic chimpanzee head. Hell, I would have no further need for any more human contact or company. Just me and my chimpy head. gently caress.

I was expecting some horrible parody thread destined for the gas chamber, but you were actually telling the truth! I must say that is very loving disturbing. I WANT ONE! It just works so well together, you definitely are a genius!

In every horror movie involving mankind's creations gaining sentience, breaking free and taking over the earth, there's always a moment in which hubris-fueled scientists take the final step over the line and seal humanity's doom. Somewhere, in a universe parallel to this one, a drunken late-night theater audience is watching you and screaming "DON'T MAKE THE MONKEY ROBOT, DUMBASS!" Heed their warning before it's too late.

This is an old idea, but please remove the head and use it to replace the head of your realdoll instead. Post a video afterwards please.

Why in the hell did they have to give it red eyes? Evil is fueled by the color red.

Imagine that activating itself during the night. You'd wake up to the haunting sounds of the monkey vacuum.

Oh my, that pretty much sells me on buying a Roomba, since my wife and I had actual mentioned trying one. Are they actually worth it, do they get the job done? Of course, little does she know you can graft robot monkey heads to them, which would be my selling point
