Those robots surely listened to some Joy Division in their youth for their influence :)

is this robot music or what ? why is it here ? not appropriated

Submit something better, please.

Sure, it is just some guy building some robots, but I didn't think it much worse than the average HN content lately (Yahoo resignation letter generator/10 things whatever whatever/Learn how to program/etc.). Cheered me up, anyway.

No, reconsidering it, but given that the Yahoo-Resignation-Tool already has 44 points, I really can't feel bad about my submission.

Most of the Hackers I know (including myself) are interested in Robots. It doesn't matter if it's some ground breaking invention from Anybots/NASA/RandomSmartyPants or if it's something funny like this.

I also appreciate a random "Hacker Humor" post now and then!

All hacks don't have to be useful. This is a cool hack. Yes it purpose was to be funny, but there is some interesting technical knowhow involved here.

Goofy as it is, it seems like perfect hacker stuff to me. Music, programming, robots, etc. I vote it belongs here.
