That's scary. Wow.

Now that really is spooky - once they get rid of that noise it will be terrifying.

I wish I hadn't just watched those Terminator movies again : (

What if you were on a camping trip in the wood and saw that thing by your tent in the middle of the night?

the creepiest bit is when it slides on some ice it looks like a deer so weird saw this video a week ago and couldn't get over the slipping on the ice.

Looks like a giant wingless fly. ewwww.

Simply amazing how animal-like it is when it reacts to a disruption like the ice, or the "kick sideways." And it's carrying more than double its own weight in payload!

very wild, you almost feel bad for it when it slips around.

Make it stealthier, add some weapons, and build a few hundred more and let them loose in the Afghanistan mountains and lets see if these robots can find Osama.

Pretty awesome! Climbing over the pile of cinderblocks seemed like a waste when it could have just used it's Plasma Death Ray to reduce it to gravel. ...come to think of it, it should have used the ray on that guy who kicked it. Would have at least been funnier if it reacted with a robot-leg shot to the groin.

Thanks for posting! If I didn't feel the urgency to finish my survival bunker before, I certainly do now. :)

A plan to delay the inevitable rise of the machines: Keep them busy.
