Las Vegas Club Introduces Robot Strippers
Famous Sapphire Club said "their motherboards bring all the boys to the yard."

LAS VEGAS, NV -- A pair of robotic stripping twins reportedly showed off their realistic dance moves at the Sapphire Club in Las Vegas during the Consumer Electronics Show this week. The robots emulated strippers by dancing around a pole and shaking their metal tail-feathers.
The club's website said VIP guests would be given an opportunity to view the robots who claim "their motherboards bring all the boys to the yard!”
"Come watch sparks fly as the robo-twins gyrate on the pole, shake their hardware and leave everyone wondering if those double D’s are real or made in ‘Silicone’ Valley," the website read.

Recode said the robots were created by a British man named Giles Walker, "who describes himself as a scrap metal artist with a passion for building animatronic robots."
"Walker says he got the idea for pole-dancing robots more than seven years ago, when he noticed the rise of CCTV cameras being used as a way to surveil people in Britain for safety purposes, what he called 'mechanical Peeping Toms.' He was inspired by the idea of voyeurism, or watching others for pleasure, and decided to try and turn the cameras into something sexy on their own," Recode said.

“I think if you’re a painter, you might want to paint a beautiful woman and make it beautiful. I’m a sculptor, and I wanted to do something that was sexy," Giles told Recode.
So, he created sexy robots that dance around poles.
