CV08 demolition walker uproots the suburb, replants the forest

CV08-the-suburb-eater.jpg

Half Johnny Appleseed, half doomsday machine, the colorful CV08 "suburb eating" robot is a massive hexapod that'll crawl across the urban landscape, destroying the houses and everything within them in order to replant trees. Each leg fulfills different functions, such as breaking down houses, planting trees, and even performing liposuction on the leftover suburbanites and spitting them back out nice and thin.

And all with a smile.

The CV08 is a design by Andrew Maynard of Australia that questions what society will do once we've all migrated from our suburbs and are left with abandoned sprawls of houses and pavement. Check out more views of the CV08 suburb eating robot blow.
