wow, I did not realize we had come that far in robotics as far as the ability to balance.

Look at the snake robots

i saw this before and even tho i know it's a robot it moves so much like an animal i get upset when the guy kicks it.

^ haha yeah that kinda evoked a reaction in me too. Really neat project.

First thing I thought with those bags were that they were going to blow it up once it went up the hill.

no. why do you always say such stupid shit? i suppose you thought the same thing about mudge?

Gee, its possible I don't quite feel myself lately.

Someone should be able to openly state their feeling/reaction without having to get jumped on all of the time. LIVE AND LET LIVE, judge yourself not others and you may wind up a better version of yourself.

An honest, gut reaction, was that this 'thing' is kind of like a dog and the guy gave it a good foot shove. We are animals and we aren't always logical. Consider Pavlov's dogs, when you are accustomed to a given scenario repeatedly in life even things that mirror them might inspire similar responses and expectations.

Anywho. Less calories are spent when you have something intelligent to say, instead of just anything that falls out of your mouth. Not to be mean but this isn't first grade anymore. I'm all for fun and games too, I'm downright comedic at times - just not ALL of the time.

I think she does not have that time of the month anymore. Isnt that what happens with all women over 40?
You could now say that time of the life when talking about menopause.

I think there was a thread with this before and I said the same thing that I kind of felt sorry for it when it stumbled around.....this video is newer it reminds me of a baby moose when it stumbling around on that patch of ice.....I hope they make a civilian version I'd ride it to work like a horse....

You do seem a bit irritable....are you bloated and crampy?



I think the reaction time (of the robot, not anyone here) is impressive. Although you have to consider the fact that robots don't feel pain.....moose~bot was doing some serious shin scraping on the old block pile.
The only suggestion I would have would be to get a damn muffler on that thing.

not yet, but i'm looking forward to the no worry of pregnancy time of my life. i think menopause should be mandatory at 40.

It does sound like a traveling bee hive.

Sounds like they must have used some sort of small/hobby airplane engine in the thing.

Dude should have hit it with a big fly swatter instead of kicking it.

I saw that before, but it looks like they have made improvements since I last saw it. Balance is one thing, but they have made it self correct a hard kick from the side, and slippery ice. I can't wait to see what improvements they will make in the next few years. I'm thinking once we make a few huge step in battery technology, we will be able to build fully functional bionic legs for paraplegics.

science fiction gets less fictional all the time

That thing is scary looking.

And to think Arthur Clarke just passed away, looks like someone needs to step forward and attempt to fill the vast void he left behind, maybe- most likely "somebodies".... but who?

No, I just had a different reaction...

I was like "WOW, COOL!" it stayed up!


I guess I knew it was a robot -

It was very cool!

it elicited sympathy in more members than me. your comment was ignorant and uncalled for.
