Amazing Homemade Giant Spider Robot Build

Jaimie Mantzel is building a giant spider-like robot of his own. He’s already got a tiny prototype completed and is on his way to build the giant version out of aluminum. First, he’s got to build a workshop outside his home so he doesn’t piss off his roommate. But, before that, he’s got to build a lumber mill so he can make the materials for building the workshop.

Mantzel has posted videos throughout his epic build. In fact, he’s got 92 videos to date on his YouTube channel dedicated to his robot build. There are a lot of great scenes and Mantzel is really dedicated to this epic undertaking. Below, we’ve embedded part 64, where he does his first test drive and his latest video where he takes the robot out for a test run and the thing actually walks!
