 I'm Ellis Hamburger with The Verge here about to drive the Mondo Spider, a robotic spider built by Eat Art, the Vancouver based non-profit brought to CES by Lenovo to provoke some thought about climate change and energy. Since this thing used to run on gas, now it runs on rechargeable batteries. Ready? Oh my god. This is like, if you've ever seen that movie Wild Wild West where they're driving that giant spider. I'm like Will Smith right now. Wild Wild West, Jim West, Desperado, Rough Rada, no you don't wanna. So this is kind of like driving a Pontiac Aztec, if you know what I mean. You know, there's a lot of jarring movement and a feeling of immense power. Never felt anything quite like it. Each of these throttles lets you go forward for both, backwards if you pull both back. This way is gonna turn you to the left, this way is gonna turn you to the right. It's actually really intuitive. This was my first time trying it and I'm already stomping around. I gotta say this is pretty sweet. Somehow I feel surprisingly safe inside of this thing in case I get attacked by any PR professionals. I think I'll be okay. Bring it on back just like a parking spot. Alright.
