What a Kick? That's the Big Dog! Funny thing is, if you put it in the Bay to Breakers race here in San Francisco most people would probably not notice. :D

I was referencing its ability to kick and jump. So when does Boston Dynamics come out with the mule version? They could even program it to be as stubborn. ;)

An interesting parody. When I started watching the real Big Dog video I thought it might be two guys in a costume, but then I realized they would have to had their feet cut off for it to look the way it did. And Big Dog did some things that would have been pretty hard for two guys all wrapped up.

Post by: fancyfont on April 13, 2009, 10:39:03 AM: The last video was two guys walking backwards. The first video could have been guys walking on their hands instead of their feet. Regardless they sure had strong backs and arms!! ;D

Let alone guys that have no feet, and very skinny legs! 0_o
