block about droids that make breakfast or seek to take over the World . In the UK , a team of scientist have constructed a robot to assist them in the eccentric and perverted - sounding British sportsman of Welly Wangling , which has nothing to do with masterbation . It ’s in reality the sophisticated sport of hurling a boot as far as you may .
They ’ve taken an engine from a concrete social , pair off it with a gearbox from a Citroen sedan , and a 6 - 1/2 foot diameter horseshoe - chucking magnetic disk which rotates at up to 250 times per bit . The point ? To build robots that work on advantageously in team … we have no approximation how tossing shoes translates into teamwork , but we ’re not certified to interview the eggheaded scientists . Next calendar week , they ’ll get together with other boot - slash robot to name the ultimate footwear throw away champ . For those who do n’t win , booter luck next time !
