Giant Spider Robot

Since middle school I have wanted a giant spider robot. I attribute this to the movie Wild Wild West. While the movie itself was pretty mediocre the giant spider robot at the end of it was really cool. I would talk about how I wanted it with friends and it evidently left such an impression that some remember it to this very day, nearly a decade latter. Evidently a guy even made his own spider robot; the only problem that I saw with it was that it was not giant. The possibilities with a giant spider robot are endless, traffic would be of no concern since you could, one step on cars or two just walk in the country side. The robot in the movie was also able to shoot explosives at rocks, so that feature would also be something that I would want in my giant spider robot. That way I could get through forests with no problems and no one would try and take the robot from me if it could fight back. Something that the robot in Wild Wild West didn’t have but real spiders have is the ability to create webs. If I were to have a giant spider robot I would want it to have the ability to shoot webs. This would be useful to pick up stuff and trap giant fly robots to feed the giant spider robot; because that is exactly how that works.  The only problem I can see with it is one of practicality. It would be kinda slow, it may be hard and or expensive to fuel (unless it is nuclear powered), lastly I would suspect that it would be costly to construct. I don’t think there are any laws on the books prohibiting the use of arachnid walking machines so there shouldn’t be a problem legally. In the end though it is an awesome vehicle to have and if it is ever for sale I will buy one.
