Wow, that is REALLY impressive. I didn't know we were there yet in robotics

Apart from the speed, it's almost realistic enough to be a deer or something

That thing is freakin sweet! I'd of definitely fell on my ass in like everyone of those tests, but that thing recovered no problem.

That was unbelievably cool. We're gelcircuitry away from an evermind it looks like. I can only hope that thing was NOT radio controlled. If it was, that cuts back it's cool factor 98%.

That's freakishly awesome!
It would be unfreakish only if it looked a little better..

I bet my dog would really light into that thing if it came walking across my backyard!!! He freaks out if he sees a cat or squirrel walking around outside. That would be really funny - not sure what he'd do when he figured out it wasn't a real dog! ;D
