I think the problem began with the line "merge engine oil and football together"...

I don't understand the achievement really - they've used a flywheel to stick a sledgehammer on a lawn mower. Big whoop.

What next? A petrol powered contraption that can go faster than my horse and cart?

The fastest free kick is 211km/h not 129..Guinness is so out-dated.

I'm with Ed. Can't speak for motorists but there's no sport or geek appeal in that. I love robots more than most but that is a lawnmower with a bat.

You know what will get a ball into a net faster than humans? A cannon! At least that would be fun to watch.

Yawn.

If only they'd spent as much time and effort working on something useful... I really don't get how this is creative at all... How about a machine which could stop a free-kick from Ronaldo? Surely a lot more useful

Be interesting to see how much this cost to make and what better uses that money could have been put into. Its unbelievable that waste projects like this are being funded in todays delicate ecological climate.

Useless, ugly, wasteful, pointless, ridiculous, solves nothing, meaningless... has made me pretty annoyed!

This is some sort of elaborate joke, right?

I can't for the life of me figure out what the original strategy or objective could have been for this.

Free kick? Pretty easy to see where he's going to put it. Straight at the goalie at 200 k's. And there's not even a football boot on it?
