It’s a sculpture/robot that flings empty beer bottles at a solid wall at 373 MPH, smashing them to smithereens. As the exhibit goes on during the day, a pile of green shards of glass piles up under the wall.

This sculpture, is, of course, 99.44% pure awesome, but as Vordo of SRL pointed out, SRL, like, totally did this a long time ago. Like, yawn and stuff.

Also, *ours* shoots *concrete* filled beer *cans*, and *ours* goes *500mph*, not a puny 373, *and* contravenes several federal firearms laws. Plus, We can let any schlub with a web browser operate *our* machine. Plus, *ours* has FRIKKIN’ LASERS!

Smoke that, bitches.

Here’s the cleanroom where the ammo is prepared:

But it is always appreciated when other children build their own toys.
