  • hungryscientist, on 06/25/2008, -2/+17I was at this event, people had their jaws drop at the size of this robot!
    • cawpin, on 06/26/2008, -0/+13Hopefully they picked them up. Littering is not cool.
    • zplot, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Great job, hungryscientist, and all the other Mozilla supporters who joined in for this event! I really wish I could have made it, but am glad that the robot building went so well.
    • kuatto, on 06/26/2008, -1/+2it looks like crap
    • mdeppi01, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Um. Really?

      Apparently *lame* is trading at $150/barrel these days too.
  • lukasblakk, on 06/25/2008, -2/+2it was a great time - the dry ice was a nice touch!
  • Shogi, on 06/26/2008, -4/+35More proof that Firefox is the greatest thing ever.

    Well since women. And sliced bread. And computers. And of course the internet. And....

    Oh ***** it, Firefox is ***** great.
  • ThDecider, on 06/26/2008, -2/+24Excellent. I already have Firefox 3, thats 50% of the ingredients right there. Now for the 18 foot tall robot....
  • Loopholes, on 06/26/2008, -3/+27Aside from the logo that looks like it was placed there last second, does that robot have anything to do with firefox 3?
  • yusufmitha, on 06/26/2008, -12/+1That dumb robot got nothing to do with firefox, except that smashed up sign stuck on its back.
  • Shagmire, on 06/26/2008, -3/+7it will eat your babies
    • SQLserver, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Maybe that should just be left to Al Gore.
      • eviljolly, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2No, he'd just get distracted trying to find manbearpig...
        • Shagmire, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1ok. who could do the robot dance better: Al Gore or Firefox Robot?
        • eviljolly, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Al Gore would refuse to participate claiming that the electricity used to power such an event would go against his views on global warming. He would then retreat to his 10,000 sq. ft air conditioned mansion for a press conference...
      • Atomic1fire, on 06/26/2008, -1/+1he is doing it to reduce carbon emissions from humans.
    • dannyomo, on 06/26/2008, -0/+0maybe a dingo at your baby..
  • bashnu, on 06/26/2008, -4/+3Please avoid letting these people try your promote your product.

  • bashnu, on 06/26/2008, -0/+32Theory vs Reality

  • baylat, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4i feel bad for the logo...
  • Tonicks, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1You should make it smaller in case it turns on us. Also, an extension cord.
  • dpcamp, on 06/26/2008, -1/+42that thing looks like a bunch of fourth graders made it.

    and yes. i could do better.
    • r00fus, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Yeah, but you didn't.
      You armchair robot-scientist, you.
  • wildtangent, on 06/26/2008, -3/+2Yes....!!! but why ??!?!?!?!
  • g3ra1d0, on 06/26/2008, -1/+26Digg has desensitized me to how geeky i may be but you know...for the first time in a long time i'm compelled to say...what a bunch of nerds

    • headphonz, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2God I was thinking the same! Wow...geeks being geeky...hooray (yawn)..

      And yes, this does look worst than a 3rd grade art project. Sangria...so SF hipster....
  • phayman, on 06/26/2008, -0/+9sucks
  • krnldmp, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Get a grip and a hobby.
  • JohnnyRad, on 06/26/2008, -1/+24thats the tallest girl repellent i've ever seen!!
  • m60dude5, on 06/26/2008, -0/+16They should have put the IE cake in it's mouth.
  • RATM4EVER, on 06/26/2008, -10/+4If you build it, the diggs will come.
  • GiJoeBob, on 06/26/2008, -3/+3Where's the IE robot? Yeah, that's right, they don't have a robot and if they did the FF robot would stomp a mud hole in its ass!
  • Otto, on 06/26/2008, -1/+10A robot that doesn't walk or breathe fire or even eat babies is not a real robot.
  • cdm710, on 06/26/2008, -4/+1Hideous but hilarious. Dugg
  • mrmayor92, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3looks like my leftovers
  • dafragsta, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5Robots have shiny metal posteriors which should not be bitten.
  • elamenop, on 06/26/2008, -0/+18It's kinda *****....
  • MorphicMusic, on 06/26/2008, -4/+3FAKE.
  • angryfirelord, on 06/26/2008, -3/+1But does it run Linux?
  • leerayIG88, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3My pants just dropped.
  • seandfeeney, on 06/26/2008, -0/+22Like the effort but it looks like *****...
  • eviljolly, on 06/26/2008, -3/+2That is retardedly awesome...
  • Kenzan, on 06/26/2008, -0/+5The photo at the top and the actual product bear little resemblance.
  • bokep, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2I bet it looks even uglier in real life.
  • jedre, on 06/26/2008, -1/+4Am I missing something? It's aluminum foil on chicken wire. And it has nothing to do with FireFox. And it looks like 4th graders made it.
  • allemande, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Oh no! The worshiping of false gods is happening! First the golden cow...now this!!
  • ultraJesus, on 06/26/2008, -6/+15Jesus Christ its a ***** web browser.
    • Duositex, on 06/26/2008, -1/+5Ahh I see the opera developers have digg accounts.
  • mroffroad, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1my kids school they built a bigger robot and better looking too... That thing looks retarded.
    • Atomic1fire, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1its designed to look like a toy robot from like the 1950s
  • robystar, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3I love Firefox but this is just so fruity.
  • Fatvod, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4Looks like a class of third graders put it together.
  • EWChomp, on 06/26/2008, -0/+7Dear Firefox Robot,

    I see from the pictures that you have a stick up your ass.

    Love,
    Internet Explorer
  • ImPr3zA, on 06/26/2008, -1/+1Dugg cause it's ugly
  • bsonline, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1Ok, I hate to say this... but is it just me or did they do a horrible job? Aluminum foil on the side? At this size, it was destined to fail at shiny.
    I mean, I appreciate the spirit this was done in and I'm glad everyone had fun - but the firefox robot never looked so cheap!
  • burningpenguin, on 06/26/2008, -3/+2What an ugly piece of *****!
    You're kidding me right?

    But its a firefox robot penguin!

    SHUT UP BITCH its got a goddamn STICKER on it

  • burjzyntski, on 06/26/2008, -0/+0I'm not putting this FF3bot down or anything, but where are the arms?
    I see wings...but..
  • megamod, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3Finally direction with all the intermediate steps:

    Step 1: Shout from the digital mountain tops
    Step 2: Figure stuff out
    Step 3: Build the robot
    Step 4: Profit!!!
  • bashnu, on 06/26/2008, -0/+3epic fail?
  • Triterion, on 06/26/2008, -1/+1They should have paper-mâchéd it and sprayed it with metallic paint instead.
  • Egress99, on 06/26/2008, -1/+1I can haz robut?
  • robszol, on 06/26/2008, -0/+1how does a browser compel that many people to build a POS like that?
  • marcoionox, on 06/26/2008, -0/+4"about:robots" in your address bar
  • rheaume, on 06/26/2008, -0/+2Step one: Slice off your balls and put them in a jar, you obviously don't need them
