What inspired you to make this project?
Mostly because of Burning Man. I wanted an art car to drive around on, but like most things, when I build something I tend to overdo it. And thus, when BM was over, I had put so much work into the machine, I looked outside that event for more things to do with the Giraffe. And thus, the project was born and went on to be a very successful and popular robotic project. It's something I could never have predicted would happen.
