Designer Cat Bishop is hawking some pretty cool modified cameras on crafts site Etsy that look like robots from the '60s. Each limited-edition piece has other objects attached to it, such as a pool ball for a head and domino pieces for the legs.

Surprisingly, most of these snappers still work, but they won't top Miroslav Tichy, who makes cameras out of trash. These robot cameras will serve well as decorative pieces for the avid camera collectors. Each is named by the artist, and signed and dated as well. Prices range from $62 to $66.

"Leo" has a bakelite Kodak Brownie 127 body with vintage domino and dice legs and an old No. 6 bakelite pool ball.
