Just WOW!



Robotics is definitely going places!
 
Wow. Pretty amazing how adaptive it is to the different surfaces it encounters and anything that might happen that would make it lose it's step. I laughed my ass off when the guy walked up and kicked it. :D

Yeah, it also had a payload of 340 pounds on top of the 200 plus pounds it weighs. I wouldn't mind having a smaller version of that as an assistant :p.

I'm pretty certain that you can get an assistant that can make the annoying noise that it puts out nonstop already. The payload capability may be harder to find, though. :funny:

Can it get up if actually knocked over though?
 
Imagine seeing that thing walk through your backyard. Then you tried to kick it and it just stumbled back at you. Then you threw ice on the ground and it just skidded a bit then came back at you? Then you tryed to block its path with cinderblocks and it jumped over those? Wow. That would be day to talk about.
 
I'd go for the legs, the only way to stop those things.

I'd put one of these on and charm it, then turn it on its back.
