- scissorino, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11Dudes, I saw this at Burning Man this year... It has two disco "balls" and a giant hydraulic penis! I wonder why PopSci didn't mention that? hehe
- MackPrime, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10AND IT WAS WORTH IT
- proton, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Didn't it spit fire also? Coulda swore I saw it doing that.
- lostboy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5any autobahn blasting giraffe is on my TO BUY list, but really, does any website need to use that fugly strobbing background pattern anymore? click through to Popsci and look at the pattern on the background left hand side, try scrolling. feel slightly nauseous anyone? This is an OLD website mistake, how does it still get repeated. yuk
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I understand cool animals like lions, tigers, bears, t-rex's, etc but a giraffe? Something tells me he's a furry and that giraffe is really a sex toy for him and his furry friends.
- ChileanGoD, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Make a Robot Chicken i say!
- velo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3When I saw the headline, i was reminded of the big french walking elephant which sprayed water onto people (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYbaIla2hB0 ) - but the giraffe has something more home-brew to it, so I think its way cooler ;)
- psyon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3There is a big difference in making a robot walk, and making one roll.
- floejoe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4he probably just got his issue of Popular Science and thought nobody knew about it.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2keep up the good work
- gfixler, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I saw this thing one month ago tomorrow at the Maker Faire up in San Mateo, CA, along with the MythBusters, and Rob Cockerham of http://www.cockeyed.com. I have 7 shots of the robogiraffe in my Maker Faire set on Flickr, if anyone's interested. The rest of that set is filled with fun stuff, too. It's quite an awesome event.

- Aztlan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Here's the picture of the "two disco balls and a giant hydraulic penis!" from the makers website.

- Nymo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I Actually Saw This Back At Maker Faire As Well..

It's Insane, Blinking Lights Everywere And Looked As If It Could Tip Any Moment.. - CalabiYau, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Oh Shut up. It's human nature, and it's really stupid to get shocked by it.
The giraffe plays Kraftwerk, after all. You have to give him a break for that. - goat-san, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1no you saw it on the Make blog, along with how to hollow out a light bulb
- sencha5, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That is the best Digg byline ever. Everyone else should hang their heads in shame.
- VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Well, of course it blasts Kraftwerk, is anyone that surprised?
- Otakoner, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Like GFixier, I saw this at Maker Faire. It was pretty funny to watch a moving giraffe blasting DEVO out of it's neck.
- Durrok, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2I think it's safe to say a lot of people where seeing a lot of things that may have not been there ;)
- goatrandy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1Urusai -While I also support the killing of babies, I believe you may have gone a bit far in questioning the utility of this wonderful device.
People laughed at Einstein, Newton, and all of other great genius's of the day also. The fact is that in ten years we will all be slaves of our robotic giraffe overlords!
Fear the spiky robo-giraffe-penis! Fear it! - echosierratwo, on 10/12/2007, -4/+3SO FRIGGIN WHAT!
- ProfessorRiffs, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Why.
- manbergur, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0im not impressed
- Urusai, on 10/12/2007, -6/+3Good work? There are babies starving to death in Africa and you think it's "good" that some oaf builds a robotic sex toy to ride at a dissipated post-modernist jerkoff festival?
He should have built it with rocket launchers so we can kill the babies before they starve to death, if he was a real humanitarian. - chicken101, on 10/12/2007, -9/+1Maybe I'm going crazy, but I swear that this was on the frontpage already. I could be wrong, but just saying.
