that is crazy. the more i watched it, the more alive it seemed to me (which was the freaky part). it's movement began to seem more fluid. it almost looks like two people under there carrying that big thing on their back.
what i want to know is how they control its motion (and better yet, to what extent is their control of it -- i'm assuming that they can probably control more than just its direction). very interesting.

i just saw this yesterday too, that thing is nuts. when the guy tried to kick it was when my jaw was on the floor at that things ability to stabalize itself. it looks like some mutant offspring of an animal that gave birth in radioactive waste from the future!

I swear the thing is trying to trick us. when its just walking it looks robotic and a bit acward but when it gets kicked or slips on the ice it suddenly moves way faster and like a real animal. Skynet is on its way....

mmm i think it will be kinda hard cause will have to involve a lot of programming and physical knowledge of how ligaments work on specific animals. SOUNDS LIKE A CHALLENGE

That robot should NEVER EVER get machine guns mounted on it. Because then it would be like two guys carrying a couch, running at you shooting machine guns, and if you were on ice, they'd slip, but they wouldn't fall, and then there's the machine guns. That would suck.
