China's Robot Noodle Chef

Awesome. A Chinese restaurateur/entrepreneur decided to bring his dream of a robotic noodle slicing army to reality, with the help of rudimenary robotics and a desire to save restaurants money and introduce novelty at the same time. The best part about these bots was the creators borrowing of Ultraman design motifs and the addition of the crazy blinking lights, which really serve no purpose whatsoever in the kitchen setting. Despite that, for $2000 a pop these little contraptions definitely seem to be doing the trick for rural businesses and saving money long term for the owners. And I'm guessing they won't pose much of a threat if they ever become aware either, so that's a definite plus.
