If you had your own giant robotic arm, a love for racing and way too much time and money on your hands, I’m sure you would do the same as the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics. And by “The Same”, I mean “turn the robotic arm into the world’s most awesome arcade simulation of F1 Racing ever”. Cue the video:

It was developed in order to try and simulate proper F1 conditions without having to put millions of pounds worth of car onto an excessively expensive race track and risking life and limb. Really, I think it was more an excuse to be put on the end of a robotic arm and moved about, and quite frankly it’s not hard to imagine 8 of them networked together down the local arcade.

Now… what happens when you crash in-game…?
