Cool video I found. It gets really good half way through. Didn't know robotic tech got this far yet.

Yeah, saw it a while back, it's pretty sweet. I think it has to do with there size too, more stable if the robots are smaller.

Since they're robots, would they be doing the "human?"

Shit... they aren't be that good at dancing.. I never saw one of them do the mashed potato. :twisted:

Have you people never been to Disney land? This really isn't that new, it's just using auto-balancing robots.

Rigaku · **Posted:** Wed 09-29-2004 4:22PM

Its still really cool.

I think the point was that they were small and self-contained, power- and logic-wise. Just think what they could do with larger, tethered systems!

i could see these things marching through buildings with miniature machine guns (magnum .100 caliber, maybe) and then... taking over the world.

Before I'd buy one I'd have to see it do the worm.

I wanna see a break-dancing robot. That would be cool.
