Imagine trying to get away from that thing.
[QUOTE=elih595;35326850]Imagine trying to get away from that thing.[/QUOTE] Wait 'till it's mid-air, and wack something at it. Seems pretty vulnerable while it's jumping. Wondering how it will do in, lets say, extreme wind and rain.
It reminds me of those head things from Afraid of Monsters, pretty fucking cool!
headcrabs!
Aw, it's adorable.

That's just silly.
I used to have a remote control car that could jump. No where near as good as this though.
Imagine jumping up to someone's roof/balcony and scaring the shit out of them.

When it first stopped and started pulling out those 2 metal bars underneath it, I thought it was going to turn upside down and move the other way, which is p. cool. Then it made a fucking 2 meter high jump. had me smiling.
Now just give it some grippy wheals so it can stick those landings and climb stuff.
Parkour bot 1.0
[QUOTE=Foogooman;35333505]Now just give it some grippy wheals so it can stick those landings and climb stuff.[/QUOTE] There's been some videos I can't find where people where developing super-adhesive substances that grip to walls using the same method that insects do. Could be applied here.

What if something like this was put into cars in the future. Imagine seeing police cars chasing down a perp hoping from building to building and then landing on them with their cars.
Boston Dynamics has way too much fun making these.

Boston Dynamics will be the end of mankind. We need to shut them down before it's too late
Fuck me! What the Hell?? I expected a few things from this sucker, but scaling a BUILDING in a single bound wasn't one of them!
