So to assist them in this trivial task of moving a not-so-dead body over the table, we have a bouncer styled robot called RIBA (Robot for Interactive Body Assistance). Besides the wheelchair, the...

Super Mario makes his hallowed appearance again. And this time it’s poker chips, arranged to for his mighty self as well as other characters from the game. You can make Super Mario impressions quite easily since the game itself was created at such a low viewing resolution that a few blocks could easily ape an impression of him, and the rest of the game as well.
