But for Matt, the owner of the company Micromagic animatronics, creating Mantis is not a job that is fairly difficult. Considering himself already often creates small-scale animatronic robots. The difference, this time Matt create a robot that moved from the outside, whereas this time he create a robot that can be driving himself from the cockpit.

Although Matt is an expert in his field, it turns out the time needed to create Mantis fairly long, ie reaching 4 years. Not yet again the hundreds of thousands of pounds which needed in its development costs.

Mantis is known to have the weight of 1.9 tons, high of 2.8 meters, and the total diameter of approximately 5 meters. Whereas for the sixth move his feet, Matt rely diesel engines of Perkins 2200 cc that are powered 20-liter fuel tank.

Reportedly a maritime research organization has filed interest in Mantis. But Matt would prefer if the homemade robot exhibited at a scientific event.
