26 Foot "Dolphin" Takes Over Trafalgar Square (video)

Hey, if you like really big robots, head over to London this week. In celebration of the American football game this weekend between the New York Giants and the Miami Dolphins, a 26 foot tall animatronic robot of Miami Defensive End Jason Taylor (video) that can walk and talk is touring the city. Designed and built by Artem LTD, "Big JT" as the robot has been dubbed is believed to be the largest animated "human" robot ever assembled. Artem, using a team of 40, was able to engineer the massive robot in just under 10 weeks.

The big question, though, is whether a player of that size would be enough to help the Dolphins win a game.

Blimey! Just what Basildon needs in preparation with its next game against Wickford!

Imagine getting that into McDonalds? <Splutter>
