Wow! That's something I'd actually like to see.

A robot spider is pretty cool. (but why are so many people scared of spiders in general?)

That's very interesting. I hope it goes well, as it seems neat.

...I also hope that the people there that are afraid of spiders won't freak out (but it's obvious it's a robot, so they probably won't anyway, but who knows).

If I remember correctly, the innate fear of spiders ties in with the fear of death and anything deadly. From childhood, we are taught to stay away from them, because they could harm us. It's portrayed over and over that people should and do fear spiders, so it sticks in your mind very well. When one finds a spider, their reaction is what ages of spider encounters has taught them that the natural thing to do is fear it.
Besides, as BMF pointed out, they sure do look like something that could possibly kill you.

I wonder how that robot would work... Probably cause fear to a lot of people.

I wouldn't want to be around anything that looks like a spider, even if it's dead...

Not that many spiders are deadly/poisonous.

That still implies that some are.

I'm not about to go changing my opinion of the bastards just because they might not inject me with poison.

See, I've been stuck living in places inundated with mosquitoes. To me, spiders are awesome because they may occasionally kill and eat some of the little buggers.

Goddamned mosquitoes.

I wish someone in a homemade superhero costume would've run out and tried to fight the thing. That would've been hilarious.

Personally, I have no problem with spiders. I can send them far away if they annoy me with a good stomp (spiders are very sensitive to vibration) and they kill annoying mosquitoes.

In some cultures, spiders are seen as delicious snack food instead of scary bugs.
