| 651087 | 2008-03-20 19:15:00 | Its kind of creepy looking. If it had another set of legs it would be a giant spider. | pctek (84) | ||
| 651088 | 2008-03-20 19:40:00 | I was waiting for it to cock it's leg on a tree :lol: | CYaBro (73) | ||

| 651090 | 2008-03-21 00:05:00 | Cool. Love to know whether, when it's moving untethered, it is autonomous (programmed to start here - finish there) or whether there is someone with a remote control guiding it. Wonder what kind of battery it's using... |

| 651092 | 2008-03-21 00:58:00 | Interesting response to slipping - notice it is programmed for the lowest leg to go outwards and bend at the 'knee' joint. I reckon it is pre-programmed for various terrain - notice the 1 leg at a time approach to walking over the breeze block versus the marching uphill or the stomping action in the snow - so someone somewhere is helping it with terrain selection / walking mode. Maybe not remote controlled but it is certainly getting some help. I couldn't help but laugh when it slipped and slipped again as it over-corrected - notice how it was not oriented 90 degrees to it's original direction after slipping - is it smart enough to know that? P.S. Nothing that a noose can't stop if you tied two legs together. |

| 651094 | 2008-03-21 05:21:00 | Cool. Love to know whether, when it's moving untethered, it is autonomous (programmed to start here - finish there) or whether there is someone with a remote control guiding it. Wonder what kind of battery it's using... It sounded somewhat like it was powered by a weed whacker motor. |
