The Amazing Bickford, Disposable Razor Robot

Posted 29 Oct 2008 at 20:42 UTC by steve Share This

Jeffrey Luke writes, "a graphic artist friend of mine built a robot out of bic disposable razors". That's right, the exterior of this robot is built from 2,120 disposable razors, painstakingly cut into parts and reassembled into a 43 pound robot over 800 hours. Apparently this was done back in 1991-1992 and the robot eventually found a permanent home at Ripley's Believe It or Not in Branson, Missouri. There's also a website where you can see a few more photos of Bickford
