a funny story emerged on the internet a while ago : Grant Imahara promised Craig Ferguson that he will build him a robot sidekick for 100k twitter followers in exchange

A little bit of history for those who don't know the characters :

"Electronics and radio-control specialist Grant Imahara is a former animatronics engineer and model maker for Industrial Light & Magic, where he worked on such movies as The Lost World: Jurassic Park, Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace, Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, A.I. : Artificial Intelligence and Van Helsing. Grant also worked on The Matrix Reloaded and Revolutions.

In addition to operating R2-D2 (one of only a handful of official operators), Grant has another claim to beloved-character fame: developing a custom circuit to cycle the Energizer Bunny's arm beats and ears at a constant rate. In fact, he's responsible for all the electronics installation and radio programming on the current generation of bunnies, even serving as the bunny's driver and crew supervisor on numerous commercials.

A native of Los Angeles, Calif., Grant earned a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering from the University of Southern California. He's also the author of the book, Kickin' Bot: An Illustrated Guide to Building Combat Robots. His own machine, DEADBLOW, is a former BattleBots champion."

You also seen him the MythBusters series on Discovery Channel.

Craig Ferguson is the host of Late Late Show .

So back to our story, Craig made some noise and provided the followers and Grant kept his promise and started building the first soldier or humorous doom in Craig's army or robot skeletons.
