Junk Punk or Mr Woo builds robots
It’s hard to describe the following video, maybe it’s a documentary on Junk Punk or backyard replicants. So, this farmer builds robots with no formal training in electronics. He names all of them after himself, in a weird kind of “maker” way. And like JT from Bladerunner “I make ‘em, they’re toys, they’re my friends” he has this obsession to build humanoids for entertainment and transport.

Makes you wonder how many people out there are doing crazy high tech stuff in their backyard that no one ever sees ….

Update – even Gibson noticed this.
