All joking aside this Robot Spine Tentacle from Survival Research Labs is definitely on the cool side, even if it is the harbinger of your nightmares coming to life.

Originally designed as part for their robotic performances the 12 foot long arm’s movements are because of the four rope tendons that are actuated by hydraulics and is considered just a working prototype.

The question I have is – a prototype for what?

    Steven, surely you’ve sussed this one out….

    That is a zombie plucker.

    When the Zombie Apocalypse comes, the baddies are going to attack our food sources first. That means our field workers are going to become zombies overnight.

    Naturally there will be a short time lag of a year or so as we raise the children to back fill the workers but things will eventually return to normal.

    In the meantime we’re going to have to harvest the zombies for food. This zombie plucker will be of enormous service to everyone as it means we won’t have to dirty our hands as the zombies are prepared for harvesting.

    Soylent not-so-green soup…. Yum!

    Kudos to a team that’s thinking this far ahead! You will be richly rewarded for your foresight and ingenuity as we reduce, reuse, recycle and repackage your zombified corpses.
