Re: BigDog Robot

They might be using some of our hydraulic solenoid valves for an upgrade. That's how I found out about 'em. Once that is done I think I'd be in favor of a 1,000,000 "Dog" Clone Army. Maybe 10,000,000 . . . Come on, can't be too safe.

WOW, that is crazy. The ability to recover from slipping on the ice or when pushed from the side is amazing.

Re: BigDog Robot

That's exactly what struck me. How it recovers seems almost impossible. Amazing.

LOL one comment from Youtube:

The thing is, if they'd covered it in fur and given it a big fluffy canine head it would be absolutely adorable. As it happens, it's like an insect bred with a tank. It's horrific.

Now if they incorporate a voice command module it will come when called..... probably make a nice watchdog.

Re: BigDog Robot

I showed that video to my wife and she was terrified. Put a couple machine guns on a couple thousand of those things and it's like the terminator movies.
