Pit Bulls as a species, may have a nasty reputation as cruel and vicious animals. But in Austin, TX, there lives a beast so ferocious and fierce that even the most stout-hearted bull terrior would flee terrorized. The MECHANICAL PIT BULL a nightmarish dog-like contraption some six or so feet long, is built from heavy duty welded and bent pieces of sheet metal. It twists about thrashing its jagged edge legs and jaws, and thick sectioned torso powered by electronics and compressed air. As it moves the metalic sounds of its grinding metal legs and hissing from the compressed gas create an errie atmosphere for this robotic entity. One that no one dares to challenge. No one that is except, Brooks Coleman.

Brooks Coleman, an original founding member of The Robot Group is the creator of MECHANICAL PIT BULL. Brooks often wrestles with his creation in dangerous displays of man vs machine. Has the MECHANICAL PIT BULL ever bitten the hand that feeds it? Yes many times, according to Brooks. Brooks used to have a lot more hair.
