I'm ellis hamburger with average here about to drive the mondo spider a robotic spider built by eat art the vancouver-based nonprofit brought to CES by lenovo to provoke some thought about climate change and energy since this thing used to run on gasp now runs out of rechargeable batteries ready oh my god this is like if you've ever seen that movie wild wild west where they're driving that giant spider I'm like Will Smith right now wild wild west Jim West desperado rock strata no you don't warm that up so this is kind of like driving a Pontiac Aztek if you know what I mean you know there's a lot of jarring movement and a feeling of immense power never felt anything quite like it each of these throttles lets you go forward for both backwards if you pull both back this way is going to turn you to the left this way is going to turn you to the right it's actually really intuitive this was my first time trying it and I'm already stomping around I got to say this is pretty sweet somehow I feel surprisingly safe inside of this thing in case I get attacked by any PR professionals I think I'll be okay bring it on back just like a parking spot ok
