Presumably to pitch a remake of The Big Lebowski (the original is perfect!), this is a video of the Corridor Crew putting a 360-degree camera inside a clear bowling ball to get some cool bowling footage, as well as a trip through the ball return. Unfortunately, the crew made the

In an effort to highlight the advances in Chinese robotics, over 20 humanoid robots competed in the recent Beijing Half Marathon (13.1-miles) to see how they stack up against humans. Many didn’t finish, but several did, with the fastest, a robot named Tiangong Ultra, finishing with a time of 2
This is a video of professional inline skater Ilia Savosin (previously seen riding office chair wheels like skates) testing the pair of vacuum cleaners he modded into rollerblades. I don’t think they actually vacuum anymore, but I had no intention of doing my chores anyways. Could you even imagine what
