Make sure you watch the whole video. Although just watching this thing walk around is very cool, the balance correction ability is absolutely incredible, and honestly kinda scary.

I can’t help but wonder how easy it would be to defeat these things. While a robot army advancing sounds terrible, I’m sure they would fall for even the simplest of traps i.e. tiger pits, a dolly with leaves on it, someone holding their leg out, banana peels, etc.

Also, the wars of the future are held on Mario Kart tracks.
