I fucking want one now.
I'd like to see it refined, then applied to a paint-ball-esque team sport. Hells yea.
It's cool that this guy took the time to build it. But thats a pretty shitty walking design he used. That thing walks like the old omge supream toy
The ED209 would rock the shit out that thing.
Let's just hope that this thing doesn't encounter, say, a small brick wall.
lol brick wall.
Yeah, this thing sucks.
robots must be angry like ED209.
and scream like a pig when upsetQuote:

This dude needs to seriously invest in some shocks for that thing.
That looks like it could be toppled over by minimal human pushing. The motion is just so unstable-looking.
Still, neat.
Upon further review, I wish to use a giant Bananna to destroy this machine.
It's cool that some guy tried his hand at building a mech, but really, this thing doesn't walk. It rolls one side at a time, the closest approximation to human movement is pivoting while dragging your feet heavily so you don't lose balance on one leg. Walking means you have one foot off the ground and in motion, forwards or backwards, while the other supports your weight and helps maintain balance.
Currently even small robots deigned by top engineers have a hard time walking. Honda's robots are easily the most able and mobile 'humanoid robots,' (or bipedial) and applying their technology on a larger scale would be, persumably, a tremendous feat.
