We already let you know that the Maker Faire was this past weekend, so we hope you got a chance to check it out. If not, here’s one of the better highlights from the event. Seems Pleo, the robotic dinosaur toy everyone goes apeshit about, got his ass handed to him by Battlebot, a robot that looks like a lawnmower and chops off limbs like one too.

After the jump, check out the video of Pleo getting placed in the middle of the arena. 30 seconds later, the fun begins.

Much talked about robotic toy dinosaur Pleo seems to already have picked out his Halloween costume this year. This season, he’s opted for a softer look, dressing in his finest wools.

Actually, this is the result of an experiment performed by Ugobe to see if Pleo would still react to touch and carry on his normal behavior if he were in disguise as a lamb. The results show that the test did indeed work, though Pleo was in a particularly bahhhhhh-d mood. — Andrew Dobrow
