Can you beat this robot at pool? This sparks something of a “let the wookie win” attitude for us, but we still love to watch the video.

This giant Madagascar hissing cockroach rides proudly atop his three-wheeled robotic platform. This project from several years ago is new to us and our reaction to the video after the break is mixed.

Ask any engineer what originally sparked their interest in technology, and almost universally the response will be a Hollywood film or TV robot — Star Wars’ R2-D2, the B9 robot from Lost in Space, or Short Circuit’s Johnny 5, to name a few.

Culture Shock II, a robot by the Lawrence Tech team, first caught our eye due to it’s unique drive train. Upon further investigation we found a very well built robot with a ton of unique features.
