[strife]

Check out this video of a robot named the "Big Dog". It can walk on all kinds of terrain and correct itself after being kicked.

Pretty impressive.

What I find most interesting is all the comments about it, they're exactly what I was thinking about this.

It reminds me of all kinds of mutant creatures you see in various games. Moves just like one.

Well that has got amazing balance but is a bit noisy tho.It should be covered with a dogs body or something would be more convincing and scary.:eek:

I'm sure they'll remedy the sound thing at some point.

They also make this thing that can swim underwater:
