That's awesome! I think giving it a head would offset its balance though.

Is it weird that I kinda got mad when they kicked it? I kept having to remind myself that it's a machine lol

That's funny cause I was thinking, what if that thing decides to go all bat s**t crazy on him for kicking it?

I, too, humanized it.

You know what? I think we are looking at the great grand daddy of the Terminator.

Think about it. Stick 2 machine guns on it, and then stick RFID chips in our soldiers to use as a Friend/Foe identification scheme and have at it. I bet you a thousand dollars that this idea has already been discussed and funded.

That thing creeped me out in a way I cannot describe. Its motions are so lifelike. Sometime I fear what the future holds for us.

That. Is. Amazing.

Science never fails to astound me. Think of the possibilities of this thing- not just for warfare- but for rescue efforts in a variety of environments or for handling clean-up sitations for things like toxic waste spills.


BigDog, huh? Anyone else think 'Half Life'?

Wasn't there an attack robot in South Africa that killed someone when it went into "kill whatever moves" mode?

You know this was funded by DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) - These guys are the primary R&D arm of the defense department.

You can be certain that machine guns are on somebody's blueprints!
