It's nopt the walking part that is impressive. It's the 'self-righting' ability when it loses balance!

Yeah definately... it looked alive when the guy pushed it... and it through its front right leg out to catch itself. Very impressive!

That is pretty cool. Pop a better muffler on that bad boy and take it backpacking. You could go a lot further in a single day with this thing carrying your pack.

the second time they push it is what amazes me. It does look alive, it throws both of its legs out to the right and then walks sideways in order to regain its balance. Thats incredible! They obviously still have some bugs to work on, it has a hard time walking on rough terrain but atleast it doesnt fall over! Plus its strides are very short.

Things gotta be working with some serious gyro's, and some pretty good computing power... Amazing...

An off-road buggy is still more fun.
