I saw these quite a while back on TV,

They're very impressive. I remember seeing the first sprint which was insane to watch.

There is another video somewhere showing it being pulled from side to side, but I cannot find it.

Thing is the AT-AT is hugely impractical, the enemy only needs some speeders, a bit of rope and a few Ewoks and they're a goner

Dude, Ewoks take out the AT-ST not the AT-AT. #NerdRage

Depends on the width of the isles I would think?! And how much shopping you'd be able to pile on it.

I'd like to see you get it in your car or would you ride it down? :eek:

To case manufacturers: AT-AT or R2D2 PC case please...

It would follow the car and be left in the car park waiting to be filled up.

I like that much better than using drones.

We stopped into the MIT museum when we in Boston a couple of years ago, had a cracking section on robotics and quite a few of the prototype models up and running on display and videos on the others.
