When that guy kicked it, it looked like a mule stumbling. Look at the other robots, they all look very impressive and scary. I'm hitting the deck if I hear something that sounds like a Stihl winding out in my backyard. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />

The robot that climbs reminds me of that old movie "Runaway". Crazy flick, anyway I think life imitates art. Would we even go in a direction like this had there not been ficticious tales of such advanced technologies? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />

If you're ever chased by one, just run over a pile of 8" concrete block...you'll be able to open up a big lead on him. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
