BigDog: Awesomely Creepy and Cool

This is freaking my shit out (SFW)…

It’s like a giant 4-foot fly lost two of its legs and is seeking its sweet, buzzing revenge.

Just imagine a thousand of those coming after you. :shudder:

Exactly what I thought, and someone also plucked off its wings. But I guess it wouldn’t buzz without wings.

Man, that’s incredible. The uses for something like that are staggering.

Fahrenheit 451

Wow. I think I’m going to have nightmares about that thing.

It looks like a pretty Intelligent Design

Polo!

I hear BattleBots is coming back to TV…

Pretty impressive balance control, especially the servo response times. Can it stop/stand still?
Too bad a small explosive device thrown into its underbelly takes down the whole thing.

That wins top honors for the most impressive thing I have seen this month. The development cost seems very cheap for what it is too.

I have no idea what you actually do with one but I know for a fact that my redneck brother will be first in line for a hunting permit when they set them loose. I’ll be damned if I know how to field dress one though.

And they say Star Trek inspired invention.

Impresive. The way it slips on the ice and then gets up… I didn’t realise for some time that it was actually carrying bags of stuff for weight. I presume they’re trying for a packbot.

Light Saber.

Man, the part where it was slipping on the ice was just creepy. My co-worker’s comment was “They’ve got a pair of Mummenschanz in there!”

I thought it was going to be guys in a suit and from the onion. :slight_smile:

The part where it was hoping, and not landing on the white lines and then clearing the area marked in yellow was pretty damn impressive.

I want to dress as Jesus and ride one next Halloween.

I wonder what kind of sensory apparatus it uses.

That is cool and freaky. When the guy kicked it on the parking lot, I expected the thing to respond by eating him.

I have no idea why, but I kinda feel bad for it. It looks like a wounded bug-deer. Especially when the guy kicked it. But then I realized, it must eat babies.

It verily prances, doesn’t it?
