It was October 2003, and Halloween was fast approaching. I needed a scary robot to hit the streets with. It had to be something terrifying. Two weekends of work later, I had a radio-controlled robot that could scare anyone in its path. And thus the Killbot was born.


Notice the friendly features of the Killbot:
-
A 1,500,000 candlepower spotlight to disorient the victim it is tracking
-
A helicopter top, standard with five blades attached to a bike wheel rim
-
A 1" spinning drill bit (10 inches long) to bore through obstacles
-
Two spike rods sticking out of the front
-
A loud bullhorn to terrify victims as the Killbot yells at them
-
"The Polisher", a high-speed spinning wire brush



By the way, the blades, bits, and tools strapped on the Killbot are inert and not sharp. But they sure don't look that way.
