technology like this..

and transverse AWD exists. Bizarre contrast.

So this machine is going to help real engineers in world war 3...

The latest ones, you can kick them from the side as they're walking along, and the robot will stumble around but stay upright and keep going. In war you could load a wounded soldier onto one of these and send it back towards base, or use it to follow a squad carrying extra supplies. The possibilities are endless, and with some refinement, I'm sure they'll eventually get these bastards to run pretty damn fast...... Welcome to the future gentlemen.

and with some refinement,they can add a bunch of guns and a flame thrower to kick some ass!

fixed

those things are awesome. Like Dan said, the possibilities of usage for these things is endless.

the programming and mechanics involved in that are amazing, especially the second clip. the jumping over the black bar was crazy! its not that fast right now but soon i'm sure it'll get a ton faster. the hard part is done.

 

[TheNailman]

isn't technology magical?

 

[Ray]

imagine one of these things pulling an I-Robot... scary thought
