Croatian artist Robert Matysiak has a really awesome thing going with his Robolamps. It's just a bunch of plumbing supplies and green light bulbs, but I want to collect them all. The only problem is that Robolamps have not gone commercial, but if they did, I have no doubt that they would sell. Well, maybe not the robot that looks like it's admiring its own giant wang, but other than that...[ Robolamp...
