That would make the most advanced trebuchet ever.

Pretty neat. Hope it never kills someone though...which is a likely case. ;)

Make the world's biggest crane cab.  You can give away engines.

If that's the same video I've seen, watch how close that guy comes to painting the floor with his brains.

Yeah, I thought he was going to crack his head right at the start, you have to wonder if they just programmed it using the seat, and didn't account in for the PERSON in the seat  :D

His feet hit the floor multiple times.
I don't blame the manufacturer one bit for being pissed at this. You just know that when they do kill or maim someone, they'll file a lawsuit against the manufacturer.

In the ebay listing he mentions it has approx 45000 hours use.
That's running CONTINUOUSLY for over 5 years. Seems like quite a lot for a 1997 machine.
