Why are we called Team Death by Monkeys?
| Monkeys
are mean. It's just that simple. Before I got into my
current job in software, I studied primate behavior at the University of
Washington. I spent a lot of time with a variety of different
monkeys and apes. Some were harmless like
owl monkeys, and others I never actually got in a situation where
they could do anything bad to me, like with
gorillas.
Baboons
were fairly predictable in their behavior but they were BIG and could do
some serious damage if they wanted to. The worst were
Macaques. They weren't very big but they were very
unpredictable; you never knew when they would take a swipe at you.
I knew I wanted to have a "Monkey" theme for my first robot and thought
that getting killed by monkeys would be a terrible way to die... so
Death by Monkeys was born. |
