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. -------------

| That's not a robot, it's two midgets in a box. |

| 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. -------------

| I would love to see that at the Cousin's Big Game with a quad 98c's trotting through the woods shooting up everything that moves.... |

Holy.Cow.
Also check out the link to the RHex robot. Not quite as impressive, but very cool also. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

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

Sure, you can be all pessimistic and predict a robot uprising. I choose optimism, and will commence immediate telekinetic exercises and lightsaber training. And then I will start an evil empire. ------------- [IMG]http://i38.tinypic.com/aag8s8.jpg"> |

The zombie survival guide is not to be trusted. It does not cover many angles and often gives bad advice. |
