This odd Segway-like carrier is called the Cajun Crawler. It’s a belegged walking system made by students at the University of Louisiana. Created by Don Tamosaitis, the system was a senior design project and uses 18V drill motors and can support heavy loads – one rider was 325 pounds.

It cost $1,200 to build and is considerably more impressive than anything I’ve ever build in college, I gay-roon-tee!
