This is insane!
The video is so cool, but seriously...wars are going to be brutal if the military ever get a hold of this stuff.
That is too cool.
Surely there isn't much the military could do with it. Because I guess it uses alot of power, and if it were used on a larger scale it'd either use even more power or be slower.

Woah, that's actually pretty scary.
Although, get another one of them and you could probably make one hell of a speedy ping pong match. :D

Technology only gets smaller, and takes up less power.
All that needs to happen is this technology gets taken and funded, and hey presto...we have something that the military could use.
For instance, this thing isn't just moving fast...it's processing the information at ridiculous speeds. Imagine making something like a sentry turret with this technology...
It could scan the area, determine target positions, figure out which are allies and which are enemies, then fire at them...

It is no Big Dog (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cHJJQ0zNNOM)(which I find both fascinating and terrifying, in equal measure).

Yeah, Big Dog creeps me out so much.
It always looks like two men interlocked with eachother to, though they have no upper torso.
It'd be interesting to see that get further developed aswell, to make it quieter perhaps?
Hah, that's pretty cool. I like the stick one.
Maybe we'll start seeing some exoskeleton suits with additional arms soon~

Now that is fast! I never knew how far technology had come in recent years. I agree with the guy, I fear the day of the Robotic Ninjas. As for Big Dog, that thing is just freaky and slightly disturbing to look at.

I had wondered why Big Dog seemed so familiar...

Firing at allies? :p
It could be used like the special forces turret things in Dead Rising!
