A gigantic 50-foot robotic spider was spotted of clinging to the side of an office building in Liverpool, England.
This robot spider is said to come alive this Friday which most probably for one sake – to destroy the city of Liverpool and those who live in Liverpool would be in great danger which they will soon be trapped under the robotic spider web. Lets call up Spidey now for a rescue!
The robotic spider weighs 37 tons and stands at 50ft high, is now found clinging to the side of Concourse Tower in the city. This gigantic arachnid is in fact entirely mechanical and it’s meant for the street theater organized to mark its year as Capital of Culture. This gigantic arachnid is expected to come down on Friday and go alive to take tour in the city of Liverpool. Tens of thousands of visitors in Liverpool will get to see this robotic spider in action in the next three days.

I saw this on the news last night. It was crazy how close the thing was walking next to the crowd. At 30+ tonnes all it would have taken is a slight wobble of a leg to squish someone. Cool though!
