When you think robots, you usually think of unfeeling amalgamations of
plastic and metal that’s slowly gaining sentience and plotting to
overthrow us all (at least, that’s how I look at them). Well, did you
know that robots can be made from other materials too, like paper? Yes,
paper, that same piece of writing material where you doodle during
important staff meetings can now be used to make walking, unfeeling
automatons. This particular specimen was made by YouTube user thedoorintos,
and uses elastic bands as a power source instead of the traditional
robot fuel, electricity and hatred for humans. If you want to try your
hand at building your own, you can download the plans at http://www.geocities.jp/kikousya290821/newmpm.htm. You can check out the video of the thing in action below.
