Would like to meet that down a dark alley!!!

Heh, also - I wonder how many times they kicked it and it didn't work!

 

[Deleted member 329]

thats amazing!

 

[Skiddley]

Don't worry, you'd hear it comming from a mile away.

Wanna see someone kick it really hard, bat it, or push it down some stairs.

dont know if its just me, but its legs freak me out and the way it moves

 

[Nix]

I wanna see that thing leap in the air.

Aye it is quite freaky.... they getting more and more.... human every day

 

[Mr Mag00]

i wonder why the legs are articulated in that manner?

I'm getting visions of a pantomime horse for some reason?

 

[DEL 707]

Thats pretty impressive.

All that need to do now is mount a gun on top

. The machine, which moves like a cross between a goat and a pantomime horse, is being developed as a robotic pack mule for the US military.

Im not sure what the purpose of it is, i mean it walks around and makes a hell of a noise... doesnt seem very useful.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

Wow thats cool, have images of people riding robotic horses now

 

[Andelusion]

Hehe aye this was posted on here about a year ago and it's still just as amazing!

It's fantastic how it recovers its balance after being kicked.

These are so going to be on the battlefields of the future

It will eventually be perfected. Will you prefer the wounded person in a war zone remain on the field or ferried to safety?

imagine in 40 years time a much faster well armoured variant of that thing with a mini gun mounted on it capable of covering any terrain with advanced tracking systems, it looks daft now but so did the first tanks and the first subs. refined and developed and given rudimentary intelligence it could be quite lethal as a weapon of war.

p.s. its legs terrify the hell out of me.
