Robosaurus Kicks off the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction Oct. 16-18

Robosaurus, a 40 foot tall monster that weighs 29 tons, shoots a 20 foot flame from it’s nostrils and can crush 20,000 pounds in its stainless steel teeth, rolled down The Las Vegas Strip this week to kick off the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction being held Oct. 16-18, 2008, at the Mandalay Bay Events Center. 

Robosaurus has been destroying countless cars and airplanes since its invention by Doug Malewicki in 1988.  A human pilot inside the monster’s head guided it down the Las Vegas Strip to launch the Barrett-Jackson Auto Auction.
