Wild Wild West
Seems like a Hollywood movie ??? No its real a machine spider built as part of festival conducted in Liverpool during the month of September.At first the big arachnoid took the breath of many for a moment,children yelled out of terror.The huge 15 m terror wandered the streets for two days accompanied by a group of musicians and other artists.It was built by a French company named La Machine.
The spider has got a steel body with wooden frames and controlled using 50 hydraulic actuators.It required more than a dozen of operator and a wheeled crane was used to move its entire body.And it may be the most expensive spider to buy and it costs about £2 million.Rumours were spread that the spider would appear in many cities in the coming year.
