The advertising copy for this stuff is somewhat weird and disturbing: the phrases "cyborg designs" and "future mechanical servants" don't really belong in the same paragraph, as far as I'm concerned. Cyborgs unite! (Is this site for real?)
"You are tomorrow's builders. Robots will replace general repetitive tasks so that Humans can enjoy a better, freer lifestyle. There are many tools at your disposal, robot parts, optical components, robotic assemblies. We will try to find them and put them here.
Make your own Battle bot, create the perfect robotic (android) assistant, become master to an army of robot servants. Below, you can find, review, or purchase a few select ideas, or Robotic components to start your robotic project, or find the electronics you need to finish the android you have already nearly built.
Already, because of new technology, anthropomorphic and cyborg designs have begun to develop. Our future mechanical servants are already the children in the minds of robotic developers."

I don't know if the site is for real, but the phone number on the bottom sure isn't.

What!? Did you try to phone, or is there some phone number protocol that gives it away?

I phoned this morning when i saw the post, but the number doesn't exist or else it has recently been disconnected or something.

They're probably just hoping they'll make money off the Google Adsense ads...

the phone number is real... the parts are still being researched.. and to some extent, the adsense revenue helps keep things going.
We welcome assistance.. this is a project designed to promote mechanical servitude. Any ideas for parts, and contruct?
