Getting too old to pack your Deer or Elk out of the woods or just maybe too fat & lazy?
Then this is for you. :eek:

That is going to be the terminator of the future. Picture that thing with some sort of 50 caliber heat seeking rifle on it. ouch
Pretty cool but I think it tore a few ACL's on that ice.
that has got to be one of the creepiest things i have ever seen.
That is cool!
This is so cool! Watch until they try to kick it over!
Its all good until you run out of gas way back in the boonies.. LOL

You wouldn't have to worry about packing out any game, they'd here you coming for a 20 mile radius. :biglaugh:
I agree with Matt...that thing is creepy!!! Good thing it makes so much noise and you can hear it coming. If I saw that in the woods I think I'd empty every thing I had at it.
That thing wouldn't go down for nothing!!!
That ain't right...
Shawn... :scared:
LOL it sounds like it's running a 2-stroke motor.
Way to cool, but after about 2 min of that noise i would put one right behind the shoulder :mad:
The posablities of that thing are going to be incredable
It may be creepy, but it's damned impressive, too! Robotics have come such a LONG way.
And you all thought that today's ATV's are loud. Wait till they put seats on top of these contraptions.
That thing freaks me out. Way to weird. I would rather face a bear then have that thing creep up on me.
Yeah, that's not creepy in the least... :rolleyes:
I agree it's very impressive!, But I my first feeling was to be a bit creeped out....a premonition of things to come, makes you wonder!
Impressive and weird to watch.
Yeah it is creepy isn't it, that just not right.
Well I guess it will only be a few years before they make some quite ones and get the price where some folks could afford it.
I found it amazing when the guy kicked it and when it was on ice.
something there just aint right....
That was in a earlier post, very cool though.

I saw this on another forum a while back. I'm really impressed by the balancing. The scenes on the ice and when the guy kicked it were unbelievable.
Someone better protect "Sarah Conner".
That's just wrong on so many levels I don't know where to begin. But strangly at the same time it's so way cool!
I love that it sounds like a two-stroke engine. Also, the legs look like two guys hunched over and looking at each other (esp. in the slippery ice scene). Wierd, and yet cool (like Bard said).
If they do mount rpg's and machine guns to these, they really should keep the sound. Imagine the fear of hearing ten thousand Briggs & Strattons just over the hill. Is it a pack of tiny children at a motocross event, or a killer robot?
I was trying to think of a way to get a 3-D moving target! You know, for realistic hunting practice?
It is more coordinated than I am,,, for sure!
But, kinda creepy!
That has got to be one of the freakiest things I have ever seen! That's just creepy to me.
I would have to stick a head on each end of that thing.:)I would love to have one just for the cool factor. :biglaugh:
If that thing came under your treestand, you'd swear it was an alien :scared:
Sounds like one of those old 60's sci fi movies.
Technology has definitely come a long way. Next thing we'll all have robotic maids!! I think i'll stick with my own two legs and if need be maybe a pack mule!

Scary!!! Archers to the line..........................................................
I like it. Not sure what I'd DO with it, but I'm sure I could think of something...
