I think the lack of 'scale' is kinda neat for this image. it could just be "micro machines"

the blasting is going to be really fun for the people in neighboring buildings. i work right over the south ferry subway construction, and there is blasting every day. sometimes its a distraction, but most of the time its hardly noticeable, although i've felt the overpressure a few blocks away on whitehall.

from a distance (like in this photo) this machine, because there's no size relationship with anything, looks like the bomb sniffing police robots: http://lemonodor.com/archives/images/grisly-bot-3-s.jpg
