Thats friggin awesome. I was expecting it to not move very fast, or very far. But I'll be damned it that isn't totally great.

Thats preatty neat, nice looking Spider Contraption, I am surprised it was moving fairly fast. Looked like a miniature of a spider from Wild Wild West movie.

Saw it a couple of days ago
All it needs as a finishing touch is a big laser cannon on top

I thought at first they cheated and sped up the film, but then there were people walking past at normal speed in the back ground.

Doesn't really have the makings of a practical vehicle, but it would be an improvement of over the painfully slow probes we send to other planets. Although with that many moving parts there is quite a lot more to break.

Awesome! But it needs foot paddings of some sort. The clanking iron is too theatrical.

Saw the title and thought, "Oh god, they turned Spiderman into Batman!" Good to see that's not the case.

Very interesting vehicle; the inventor might have something the military and scientists might be very interested in. Like Caelus said, not very practical at the moment, but an interesting and promising start.

Actually, there was a Spider-Mobile back in the 70's:

It was more of a joke than anything else. The story was, if I remember right, a car manufacturer wanted Spider-Man to build a promotional car for them, and Spidey needed cash at the time, so he accepted the offer. The Human Torch built it for Spidey, and he didn't use it very long at all.

As for the vehicle in the video, very, very cool! Reminds me of this He-Man vehicle for some reason:
