Watch the whole thing, kind of gives you that "we're all going to die" feeling.

Its pretty cool, but that sound is really annoying. The kick recover and ice slip was really cool.

They should've given it three legs, and a flechette launcher.

A better scenario:
"Imagine 500 of these just walking into a city roaring away. Scary as hell, but finally, one insurgent gets up enough balls to run out and kick one, and it recovers like that? I wouldn't be able to get my arms in the air fast enough."

Wow, that is really impressive, especially the way it it recovered from slipping on the ice and being kicked from the side.

I was pretty creeped out when the video first started. It looked like some giant, buzzing, mutant insect roaming through the woods.

Guns???  that.

I'd use it for medical reasons... Some one gets shot I'd send out one of those to go get him out... it still needs improving(Speed over terrain) but that thing is a giant leap for robots.

That thing, with a remote controlled machine gun mounted on it could make a rather deep impression on the people its used against.

It's probably really finicky, in which a simple 5.56x39 round would probably completely decimate it. Unless they covered it in flack Jackets.

Holy.Cow.

 

Also check out the link to the RHex robot.  Not quite as impressive, but very cool also.

I can't imagine the amount of work it took to get that thing to move like that.
