    I'm not sure if this is a joke or not.

    This particular bot has been in development for a while; I saw some video last year of it running through obstacles.

    Kinda looks like a miniature AT-AT. . .

    ThIS................there are videos on this on You Boobs and such, very cool the tech in to the thing. The only thing I think doesn't make sense and hope they figure it out is the motor thing they had was noisy as hell in some of the first videos concerning the development of this thing. The thing can take a major beating and still gets up and moves on.

Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles. --Jeff Cooper"

    This is a few years old. They have the Cheeta one now, runs 35MPH. This is NOT the good video. There is another, youtube boston...whatever the name of the company is. That video is kinda scary. If it gives you the creeps, youve got the right one.

    The videos of the guys kicking it, and trying to knock it over while on a sheet of ice is remarkable...
