    If its full speed is 4mph, even the fattest, laziest burglar could get away from it wheeling your bike - assuming the sound hadn't given him a heart attack first........
    Actually it's about as fast as me climbing over the concrete blocks.....and about as stable as me on the ice!
    I reckon that it's really two guys with black woolly leggings on with their heads sticking up into the body of the thing....like a pantomime cow.....
    And finally, they need to give it teeth so it can bite the bugger who tried to kick it over......

    Pretty damn clever how it doesn't fall over when he kicks it..

    Why do I feel sorry for it when it can't stand up properly on the ice?
    I KNOW! I also felt sorry for it. It seems to evoke some sort of emotive feelings...almost like one would have for an animal. It is very clever though!
    Nail your colours to the mast that all may look upon them and know who you are.
    It takes a big man to cry...and an even bigger man to laugh at that man.

    I reckon it evokes our emotions because it does look animalistic. It looks like a deer to me, leg wise anyway.

    My favourite part was totally that time...

    Oh wait, Mum told me to stop talking about that.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.

    Haha, totally. If we did add teeth to that thing, it would so be in the next Terminator movie.

    It makes me think about a fly with its wings pulled off.

    I personally think it should be used in a Theme park for kids ride rather for the US military...

    It will be fun!


    If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.

    Forest - that was a hilarious clip!


    I think it's very impressive indeed. Applied cybernetics is a pretty new field in that the technology is only just starting to allow these kinds of constructions. Give it 10 years and it'll most likely be able to run 30 km/h.

    I really thought it was impressive the way it jumped the obstacle and pretty much landed with both front and rear legs at the same spot. Amazing level of coordination.
    It is preferential to refrain from the utilisation of grandiose verbiage in the circumstance that your intellectualisation can be expressed using comparatively simplistic lexicological entities. (...such as the word fuck.)
