Spiderbot Mimics Peter Parker's Skills, Sorta

The Spiderbot is a glorified Peter Parker poseur which has some of the same capabilities as the lovable web-slinger. It can hang from ceilings and shoot stuff with its “web,” but I don’t believe "Spider-Man 4" will have a feature role lined up for this Spidey spin-off.
For all you tech friends out there, this might be right up your alley. And to be fair, this is a pretty neat gadget, which I am sure took ages to build, but to put this gizmo in the same category as the web-head? I know all my allies in the “a little too old to still love superheroes” fan club will agree--you are crazy, my friend at Ben Gurion University's robotics lab in Israel.
