I've actually had the pleasure of seeing this robot "in the flesh", as it were. The creator's an old friend and a real nice guy.

He's got a really fun video with an old Soviet games console I particularly enjoyed.

He was shopping in Tbilisi for this video, does he have some connection to the USSR? That would be a really, really interesting perspective for a tech YouTuber.

On his page https://www.thomasburns.net/ he mentions "Our family runs a small computer repair business in Tbilisi, Georgia" (under the rotary phone tile).

Oh huh, he actually lives there. I'm so curious as to why.

Watching the video is worth it for the visit to the old style junk market alone. I love those places.
