Not Yeti Friday - Robots Named Yeti

Look at this fantastic giclee print by illustrator AdultBraces.

Yes, yetis and robots fight all the time.

But only if yeti isn't a robot himself (See Doctor Who and Astroboy).

But when yeti isn't a robot, then the Battle is On.

Here are some robots that are named yeti. I believe their secret purpose is to infiltrate the yetis and shoot lasers at them at a specific synchronized time. Like the robot mastermind would send out "ORDER 13" and all the robots hidden among the yetis would shoot their lasers, thereby committing a thorough yetixtermination.

Whose side are you on? Me, I'm a mammalphile, so....

Yeah, I figure, if we made the robots, we can unmake them. Think on that, robots.

Here are the robots named yeti:

You can get this YETI Walking Robot Kit and learn about how a robot can walk.

But just look at that guy. If it isn't about to shoot lasers at woolly anthropoids at a programmabled moment after blending in to their ice clans, then I don't know what I'm talking about!

A student team at Dartmouth's Thayer Engineering School is building an autonomous robot that will be used to perform Ground Penetrating Radar surveys in Antarctica.



They named it the yeti.

They've posted some videos on YouTube of it in action.

Go student team at Dartmouth's Thayer Engineering School! Get those Ground Penetrating Radar surveys robo-autonomously performed in Antarctica!


(But we all know your real purpose is ensure robot victory over the yeti via covert infiltration and "Order 13" Laser Response. *WINK*)

Curster Yeti

Curster has a yeti. And you can get one for $25.

You can change the face up.

Hellman Yeti

I loved this webcomic, "A Lesson Is Learned But the Damage is Irreversible".

The fourteenth strip featured a wise yeti guru.

The artist David Hellman is making the news these days. He is responsible for the worlds and backgrounds for the recent, critically acclaimed arty video-game Braid.

Robotronic HORROR menacingly waist-rotates

This is an animatronic you too can own. Some of its features:

bloodstained white fur

rotation of the waist in a "menacing way"

the holding of a human head in the hand

Found here, it looks a lot to me like the yeti version of the costume used in the recent Bigfoot hoax.

Chiu Yeti

Bobby Chiu of of Imaginism Studios made the painting.

And according to the above photo from the 2008 Comic Con, someone else made a figurine of it. Will it one day be available to own?

Dudnik Yeti

A design by Tatyana Dudnik for BarCamp Portland, "an unconference for the Portland tech community."

Here is another of her designs featuring the same yeti riding a rocket ship above a flaming mountain. Yes, it's awesome!

Everyone keeps calling it a sasquatch, but readers of this blog know how wrong this is. Let's remember to look at history and not make the same mistakes.

Obama Nibble Snowman

Brennan sent me the following pun:



Or, if you prefer...





Thanks, Brennan!
