In a franchise that spans eight movies and stars some of the wildest custom rides to put rubber to pavement, making a top ten list is a challenge. From the originals like the 1970 Charger R/T to the shogun-styled RX-7, any one of these cars could be number one. Donut Media took on the difficult task of a definitive ranking of Fast and the Furious rides from all eight films.

Making robots walk requires lots of hardware — in the form of motors, servos, gyroscopes, and the structure of the robot itself — and software to process those data points and translate them into movement. The Planar Elliptical Runner is a prototype bipedal robot that uses mechanical design to ditch much of the hardware and all of the software required to make it move, using only a motor and remote control.
