Arrow Boston Dynamics - BigDog
Are you as mad as Michael Bay that last summer's big blockbuster movie didn't come out on Blu-ray? Maybe you are so sick of watching Transformers that you want your own robot with a chain gun mounted to its back so you can automate the destruction of your HD DVD movie collection. Look no further...

That's freakin amazing. Stick a chair on it and a decent battery pack so you don't have the noisy motor and you will have a pretty cool ride.

Yeah, that thing is weird. The way it moves is so real that I start feeling bad when it falls down and mad at that guy for trying to kick it over... and then I feel weird for feeling bad/mad... and then I feel scared that I'm actually watching the first in the T series of of man-hating machines...

That was my feeling exactly, I just can't explain why I would feel that way. It was the kicking and the slipping on ice that was bugging me out. The jump is pretty cool. The problem it seems to have is with inclines and declines.
