Mark Haygood’s humanoid robot HEX was pointed out by Damn Geeky. But Gizmodo gets points for noticing the resemblance to Johnny Five. The robot’s hands at least are a dead ringer for those on the best robot from the 1980s. But even if you don’t see the similiarities, you have to be impressed by a guy who spent that much time putting together a robot from basic home electronics. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the film, but this clip holds up pretty well. No dissassemble! No dissassemble!
