This has to be one of the creepiest robots that I have ever seen. Every time I see this thing it just blows my mind how smart the thing is. I know next to nothing about programming and I can't even begin to imagine all of the work that went into creating this.
I guess now we are one step closer to Skynet.

At least you would hear it coming from a mile away.

Aye, that's true.

Apparatly the power for these things is one of the main problems, it's either super loud, or dosnt work right. Not much good in an actual fight as it stands, it's like "Hey guys! I gotz your ammo! Over here!!"

I still want one...

Re: BigDog Robot
Saw the video and read about that robot back in 07, it's pretty friggin' awesome. Luckily it doesn't know much more than "go here," "don't fall over," and "different terrain? I can do that!"
