As a self-declared dork, RangerX52 wanted to take a simple task like proposing and make it as utterly complicated as possibly—by having a DIY robot do it for him.

It doesn't walk or dance or anything like that, but isn't proposing and shooting an engagement ring out of your chest impressive enough? Check out the video below for a demonstration of GIR's specific nature. But be warned... it is NOT the actual proposal, and his soon-to-be wife, Dorothy, could not contain her elated giggling.
