This is a simple to build device that converts your own human voice
into a superior robot voice. It also includes a number of sweet
features like an audio-in jack so that you can plug in all of your
favorite instruments, microphones and music players, a vibrato mode and
awesome pitch shifting buttons. It can be shifted two whole octaves in
either direction. This provides for endless hours of fun (at the
expense of everyone around you).

Statue of Liberty? Striking, but a bit demure. Trenchcoat-clad Stalin statue in Gori, Georgia?
Iconic, but disheartening. Giant RX-78-2 Gundam statue at Shiokaze Park in Tokyo, Japan? Unquestionably badass.
The massive biped is currently under construction, part of a celebration for the 30 year anniversary of the original Mobile Suit Gundam series. When completed it will be full-scale, standing 59-feet tall, weighing 35 tons, and even shooting "light or mist" from 50 different points along its structure. All systems should be fully operational by July 11 -- hopefully soon enough to stop the forthcoming Zeon armada.
