The military needs to strap machine guns on them and fight the Middle East war in place of our soldiers.

Because the sight of one of those things coming at you would definitely scare the crap out of anybody late at night //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Creeps me out at first. Pretty bad *** though. That thing has better balance than I. I bit it on the ice this winter, multiple times.

Now all they have to do is make it faster and get rid of that annoying buzzing.

That's almost frightening that it's so realistic. I wonder what the legs look like without those stockings.

As mentioned, the Military should pick up on this (probably will) and strap a mini Gatling on that thing and send it to war. They do need to work on that noise though, other than that its pretty amazing.

those things would cost way more than a human being.

People are too cheap to replace with expensive robots.

How is it controlled? Is it just controlled remotely by a human...or do they send it commands...or is it A.I.?
