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.

Old, but thanks for remind me about this. It is sooooo hysterically funny after watching your video, Jay.

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.

About The Scrabbled

The Scrabbled is a group of people blogging about and linking to all manner of things. Usually we argue and make fun of each other. Everybody knows everybody through somebody so there are no strangers here. Most of us have even met in real life! If you happen to personally know someone here and would like to start arguing with and/or making fun of someone, shoot John an email and ask to sign up. Otherwise, you're just going to have to read in relative silence. Sorry.
