Fun fact: it can not move backwards. It can only move forwards until all its enemies are destroyed

This is a level of automaton that victorian makers could only dream of, and no advanced components either! This man is a modern day Da Vinci for sure.

As a mechanical engineer, I can't explain the level of satisfaction I get after watching Strandbeest march along the beach in an era when electronics are so accessible. It feels like purity.

Without context, i like to think of strandbeests as these creatures that just appeared out of nowhere and people just never questioned it, they're just there evolving with nothing to stop them.

When Derek said the Strandbeest was invented 34 years ago, I was expecting footage from the 70's, not 1990.

It's amazing that Theo Jansen didn't have computer education. He invented the names for his device components himself. One Japanese reporter once pointed that a component was a NAND gate, but he said he named it LIAR SWITCH because it went the inverse of the input.

Fun fact, i live near where his workshop is in the netherlands and when i was younger i stumbled upon his workshop and ripped one of the pipes to play around with, i bumped into the guy and we had a talk for over an hour explaining what he was doing and how it all worked, he even let me keep the pipe.<br>Great guy!
