Some dude likes Gundam a whole lot. So much, that he created this Styrofoam monstrosity. Pretty awesome.

Married couple Nicholas and Angela from Kansas City, Missouri apparently love robots. They make Nerdbots from everyday objects found at their favorite antique and thrift stores.

They’re a tad like Cabbage Patch Kids in that you can adopt your own robot from the limited collection at their website. The robots range in price between $155-185. Because they often use vintage parts, the robots have an abstract but retro look that’s pretty cool.

Designer Ann P Smith creates amazing robotic animal sculptures from broken electronics and machine parts. The sculptures are sold in stores and galleries throughout the US and have been published as illustrations in magazines and brochures. Some of her clients include Chevron lubricants division, Cricket Magazine, and Cicada Magazine. You can also watch animations of her robotic sculptures in action at her website and buy them from her etsy shop.

Some bots end up in the junkyard, but some lucky bots get new life after they’ve outlived their usefulness in one field. It’s no different with bomb disposal bots. The Army’s 95th Chemical Company has given some of these bots new life after they began to show their shortcomings and weaknesses. They’ve outfitted said bot with a chemical-sniffing nose that will detect things like ammonia, chlorine, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds and all kinds of other nasty stuff. The robot is almost ready to see some action, and will begin field testing in Iraq and Afghanistan this fall. It’s called CUGV, for Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Unmanned Ground Vehicle.

Recycling is the way to go.
