Repetto has finished a project called “foal table.” The idea originated in a request from a friend working on a theater production to design a table that transformed into a horse. Repetto watched videos of foals being born and carefully calibrated a mechanical table to make it walk in the awkward, stumbling manner of newborn horses.
“What it’s supposed to do is ridiculous because it’s a table and there is no reason for it to be walking,” Repetto said.
The idea is therefore perfectly Dorkbot — a name that Repetto says is meant to appeal to people who like to stand back and experience awe in technology and creativity. —‘Dorkbot’ Meetings Develop Cult Following
