After years of appearing in science fiction, lasers that can actually cause harm to humans are finally small enough to be held. Now one laser aficionado has combined two sci-fi nightmares into one by giving a robot a laser.

In the latest video from the self-proclaimed DIY Laser Guy, he attached a 2W laser to a spider robot. He then uses a controller to move the robot and aim the laser. The laser is powerful enough to pop balloons, burn paper and cause all sorts of mischief. It wouldn’t kill a human, but it would certainly hurt.
