Massive, fully-functioning robots made from reclaimd materials are a green tech lover's dream come true. Last week we found a 33-foot tall Optimus Prime replica in Bejing, but as mighty as good ole' Optimus is, he would find himself dwarfed in the shadow of this 39-foot tall robotic elephant.
Not only does the Transformers replica lose the height battle, but he also loses the mobility one as well. This mechanical elephant is an actual moving robot!
Inhabitat says,
Inspired by the Sultan's Elephant, an interactive show featuring a mechanized elephant, the massive robot looks surprisingly lifelike aside from a few nuts and bolts and some joints at the trunk and legs showing. Dubbed the "Great Elephant," it can carry up to 49 passengers at a time on a 45-minute walk - pretty impressive.
The 12-meter high x 8 meter wide elephant was pieced together using 45 tons of reclaimd wood and steel. Find us a more impressive reclaimed robot...I dare you.
