The idea is to drink/eat a tomato while running to reduce fatigue and keep running.
It's cooler than a Gatorade bottle I'll tell you that.
Tugging a tiny lever in the foot moves the arms to catch a tomato from the shooter. It then rotates the fruit over the runner's head and holds it in front of his mouth.
Yeah... totally adequate. The robot was unveiled for a Tokyo Marathon that's happening this weekend. It apparently only weights 18 pounds (light right) and the device will go on someone for a five-kilometre fun-run.
Crazy? Yesh. Interesting? Sure thing. Useless? Well.. it's marketed as a wearable tomato machine so I guess it's not.
We have google glass right? I mean.. a tomato machine is a pretty neat upgrade.
