Robot video you have to see!!!
You all need to see this video just out on Gizmodo of the work done with DARPA funding for a robotic dog type contraption. I don't know weather to think that it is cool or to be scared.
I have read about it before, but never seen video. Supposed to be like a pack horse equipment/ammo carrier of the future, so an individual dosn't have to carry so much, giving him better reaction time and the ability to move over distances faster. YouTube - Boston Dynamics Big Dog (new video March 200  Weird: New Video of BigDog Quadruped Robot Is So Stunning It's Spooky And it really does remind me of Star Wars. The part where he kicks it and it keeps going and it slips on the ice and gets back up..................WOW.................... |

Wow! Nice find. It actually looks like 2 guys - 1 on either end. Very realistic. You almost feel for it when it slips over and panics to regain stability. Well done to those guys.
