Behold the "Death Ray Drone Bot" with real lasers!
Behold the Death Ray Drone Bot! Robot enthusiast creates a terrifying mechanical spider that bursts balloons with real lasers
- The Death Ray Laser Drone Bot was built by Illinois student Drake Antony
- It is a remote-controlled Attacknid robot fitted with a blue laser
- Laser is fired from a 2W diode and can pop balloons and set fire to paper
In a move that wouldn’t look out of place in an Austin Powers movie, a student from Illinois has fitted a spider-shaped robot with laser beams.
The remote-controlled Death Ray Laser Drone Bot is fitted with a beam so powerful it can pop balloons and make paper and card burst into flames.
It was created by 20-year-old Drake Anthony who demonstrated the full force of his creation on his Styropyro YouTube channel.
Illinois student Drake Anthony fitted a remote-controlled Attacknid robot with a laser diode that is fired from the spider-shaped drone and is capable of setting fire to paper within seconds, pictured
An Attacknid toy traditionally fires foam darts and disks, can walk around, and is designed to battle against other robots.
By removing the top of the robot and tweaking the firing mechanism, Anthony was able to replace the foam thrower with a 2W blue laser diode.
By connecting the laser to existing wires, Anthony was able to move the Attacknid using the robot’s remote control.
This control can make the Attacknid walk, spin the lasers 360-degrees, and fire the laser at targets.
