Very Cool but after having looked at it for a while my spider senses where tingling. Something about the inconsistencies with the shadows makes me wonder if its a hoax. Might not be but something doesnt sit right. Is there any other photos of it, I am probably wrong but does anyone else think the shadows might be sus?
There are no other shadows in the rest of the pic, am probably wrong.
still looks cool but _________________ Bots that do not destroy you, only make you stronger.

The more I look, the more I see a fake.
The first giveaway is the wheel.
They also made a common error and didnt make the shadows come from one light source.(Same as photo of Lee Harvey Oswald funny enough)
Then the fact that the leg on the right front has 2 actuators on it with another going through them.
The third thing is that the retoucher painted in the red colour later with the mouse and went over the lines sometimes, a bit sloppy but wasnt obvious at first.
The background is out of place and there to distract you.
Same as the wheel actually.
If its called Spider Hoe then why isnt it Hoeing or spidering
But of course I could be wrong but still think its a hoax _________________ Bots that do not destroy you, only make you stronger.

Far out we're naling some bloke for creating it on his computer i recon it looks cool but yes it dose look fake.
Also by the size and tecnical nature of it it would almost be inposable to build unless you were a multi billionare you would need mechanics, engineers and computer programers eta if you wanted to get it to move.
but hey if any turns up in one at the next builders meet in one i will marvel at you superior engeenering skills _________________ For West ausies interested in robotics email me at: theoneshrug@hotmail.com

Not really, anyone with a few brain cells could build that, there isn't anything that has been custom made, it's just piece bolted on that were originally like that from the Backhoe. _________________ https://www.halfdonethings.com/
