Now this is robotics put to good use – preventing greedy people from chomping on your sweets all day. This was built using the Lego Mindstorms NXT 2.0 kit. It can crawl on its six legs and can see/hear you through ultrasonic and sound sensors before it nips at you with its pinchers or ‘stings’ you with its non-lethal tail. Instructions for the scorpion and other possibilities can be found here.

I was completely unaware that the Mindstorms stuff was so awesome until I found out what possibilities there are and I am now going to have to save up so I can build a laser firing sweet guardian. This one is all laughs and jokes but mine will deal out its own harsh justice. Keep off my smarties.
