boondoggle noun

  1. a wasteful and worthless project undertaken for political, corporate, or personal gain

I don’t know that I’d call this wasteful or worthless. Does it have a current application? Likely not. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be built upon.

This is a hobby for a man-child with more money and time than sense. I bet you the speed that the arms move in the video is the max they're capable of.

This will never be useful for any actual work. Someone might eventually buy it for a publicity stunt.
