Man Builds Transforming Toilet
December, 2006.
Some Baffled Plumber
Topeka, Kansas - At the 37th annual Topeka robotics festival, local technician Bob Dung was awarded first prize for his invention of the transforming toilet. The unique spectacle, which transforms from toilet to giant robot, uses what Dung refers to as the metaphysical Henshin principle in its primary design. "The KRAPPA X01 uses a state-of-the-art transformation engine to transform from your everyday toilet into a post-modern fighting machine. I have to tell you, the hardest part of this project was figuring out how to get the flamethrowers to work in robot mode. Water and fire just don't mix, you know?"
The KRAPPA X01 won based on not only its unique nature, but the fact that the contest judges could not even begin to explain how the transformation system worked. One of the judges shared his thoughts with us. "Hey, if I can't figure the damn thing out, it must be pretty cool."
