RoboDock 2007: Glimpses of a brighter future cast in rusty junk.

+


The following footage provides a demonstration of the Robodock 2007 festival: this is an international arts and crafts festival which is organized every year in Amsterdam every year. Within this wacky mech-carnival, creativity knows no boundaries – there’s everything from rotating piano bars to mechanical robot bands, to huge metallic fire-breathing dragon-like contraptions. Most people out there get their kicks out of creating ingenious mechanical devices by using nothing else but recycled materials, which is even more impressive. Makes you wonder… the Netherlands must really be a nice place to visit, these days. Anyway… for more information on this festival, head out towards the Robodock 2007 official page (to get the English version, check the lower right corner for a flag).
