Is this for real?

Ok...if this is a hoax...it seems pretty elaborate....but it looks cool nonetheless. Well, it doesn't say that it tranforms, but it sure looks like it can.

"If its a hoax"? Sure looks like one to me. But I think it is all meant to be tongue in cheek, I don't think you are supposed to really think some retired engineer built a huge free-standing, fully articulate robot.

It's nice CG, but you can tell its CG.

I work in the ad industry. I just found out that this is a viral thing for MINI that their ad agency created. I dig it, it's cool.

That's what I thought. I knew I was far outdated in terms of technology, but not enough for a dexterous bipedal robot to be done without me knowing. 1999 even.
