It's amazing how "life like" its movements are when the guy kicks it or when it slips on ice.

Nothing like that to give away your position, fuck that is loud and annoying. I assume that is something that they are working on though.

[Desaevious]

Still cool though. ;)

i don't really think these things are exclusively intended for use in situations where we would be very worried about giving away our position. "we" being whichever of our military forces controls the thing.
a workhorse like that with such high load capacity could have a huge range of applications i'm sure

Well played robots. Although your bid to dominate the planet is becoming more and more apparent.

We'll see how well you fare against our female assaulting John Connor though.

Oh no doubt, but just imagine having a few of those drag shit around on base. It would drive you fucking nuts.

Yeah that was posted a while back, seems to be making its rounds again though. When I was helping my dad move some furniture the other day he was telling me about it. I sent him that video when I first saw it, and we was convinced it was 2 guys in a suit. Saw the same video on his own, thinks it was new, and now thinks its a robot.


Still cool
