Some researchers at MIT CSAIL had a problem with sunlight coming through their humongous Stata Center windows. Instead of squinting their way through computer monitor glare and cursing out the sun like I would have, they built a robot to climb the building’s framework and block the sun’s rays.
Sure, it sounds cute now. But wait till when they reveal their endgame: Building a large-scale version to block out the sun so all of Kendall Square can only get electric light powered by Mr. Burns’ nuclear plant. After the jump, watch video of the gigantic, evil, cartoon version of the glare-blocking robot.
