If you’re making the world’s largest walking robot, obviously you go all out and make it spectacular. Something that can shoot flames. Otherwise, what’s the point?
After more than a decade of planning and work, the “Tradinno” project received the recognition it deserved. Listed in the newly released “Guinness World Records 2014,” the 11-ton mechanical dragon, 51 feet long with a 40-foot wingspan, is the “world’s largest walking robot.”
The remote-controlled megatronic behemoth is the reptilian child of Germany’s Zollner Elektronik AG. Built for show business, Tradinno its name a mashup of “tradition” and “innovation” won’t be seen on “Game of Thrones” or challenging Harry Potter as part of the the Triwizard Tournament. Instead, this four-legged, wing flapping robot will replace the aging star of Germany’s oldest folk play, “Drachenstich,” performed each August in the Bavarian town of Furth im Wald.
