I was looking at some of the related videos and that thing is eventually supposed to hump [ie, carry] Army packs/gear. If that's the case they need to put a silencer on that thing as Charlie or an insergant will hear it coming a mile away.

Other than that I think it stayed upright pretty well.

OMG! I saw this video a couple weeks ago and I swore I was gonna have nightmares. Creepy as hell!

I was expecting it to lift it's leg when it got close to a tree. :rotfl:

some sort of gyro system, each leg must be driven seperatly ehh? so if one side is tipping it speeds up the legs on that side? is that how that would work. that would be really cool with a couple of gatling guns or 70 or so hellfire missiles haha.

When I first saw it I thought there were 2 guys in there and the front guy was facing backwards.

Very Cool!

You can, if you're not in a hurry, and there aren't any hills, and if you keep it just above idle, and you don't ever haul anything.

The army pack mule. I don’t think it’s creepy, I think its bad ass. At 40 seconds when he kicks it, amazing! How much calculation is required to compensate for unforeseen movement and balance shifts like that. It’s just crazy and elegant at the same time. If I ever loose my legs...
