Watch a giant robot use 8-foot-long knives to chop veggies

Simone Giertz, the self-proclaimed Queen of Shitty Robots, has built many, many absurd devices. Arguably this knife-wielding bot, ostensibly meant to chop vegetables. It might not make you quicker in the kitchen, but it could certainly amputate a few of your fingers. Now the MegaBots team has taken Giertz's design and made it--well, not more useful, but definitely more terrifying. MegaBots, an organization dedicated to building giant fighting robots, has been working to improve its enormous machine in preparation for a duel with Japanese robot Kuratas.
