One amazing Japanese papercraft enthusiast has built a walking 'robot' that's made of nothing more than paper, rubber bands, and a few wooden shafts for stability. It's been dubbed the 'Paper Robot III,' and even the cogs and gears are made of paper.

The creator made a video detailing his entire process, and he's selling kits to make your own for about $40 US, if you're too lazy to do everything from scratch.

The website is in Japanese, though, so if you're interested in buying one, you'll have to translate the page and probably pay some extra shipping.

The best part is that he's also created a Gatling gun for the robot that shoots rubber bands. You can see it in action below.
