    Very impressive. See how fast it moves its legs to stop itself from falling. The legs are far more adaptable than a real quadruped too. See when its going up the hills, the front legs bend the opposite way so that it looks like two people carrying something. The power source does sound a bit crude though. You'd certainly hear it coming.

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>Couldn't agree more. My first thought was of MGS4 and the crazy 2 legged things. It is sort of insane how well that machine can stabilize itself through all of those tests, seems too much like a living thing rather than a machine. I wonder how long till it has a gun of some sort attached to it? Getting 10 million dollars funding from DARPA is bound to cause some sort of armament being attached to it somewhere :nuke:

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div>I think the power source is a non issue, I think there more concentrating on the robotics side of things, which they seemed to of done one hell of a job on. Eventually, decent electric motors will be available with long lasting battery's and this thing will be a stealth hill climber!
