In a layman’s lingo, word Styrofoam generally means the white polystyrene foam that is used to make coffee cups or stuff take away food or even pack some goods that need to be well protected. Well known for its insulating properties, I wonder what hit Michael Salter’s psyche to use it erect a giant robot. Dubbed as the Giant Styrobot, this bot stands exceptionally tall at 21 foot. Completely crafted of Styrofoam, Giant Styrobot has altered the function of this packaging material from a protector of packed contents to dinosaurous robot that is colossal enough to crush everything under its feet. Though it seems a task to make this bot stand, the video (after the jump) will make it look as if it was all done in a jiffy.
