The pinnacle of desperate engineering: a kettle with PVC pipe legs. Someone's created the world's saddest robot while trying to avoid basic physics. Sure, heat rises, but that doesn't mean your kettle needs stilts and a motor to function. This is what happens when you give an engineering student a deadline, three random parts, and absolutely no supervision. The sad part? I've seen worse contraptions get research funding.
