    That's pretty impressive, and you've got to hand it to them for all the work that must have gone into it. But it didn't stop at the fire hydrant for a wee!
    At any given point in time, somewhere in the world someone is working on a Land-Rover.

    That is very impressive. Some Gus have just way too much time on their hands.

    Yep, the way of the future. The US Military are researching robots for use in the field. Bet it can't catch a frisbee though, [yet] . I found this to be an eye opener, especially to do with aircraft & vehicles, & the medical bit at the end, Bob

    I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

    A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

    The technology is very impressive!! I had a roommate that was designing robots when I lived in Silicon Valley. Very difficult to achieve the mobility.
    I personally don't think the buzzing from my front verandah would scare off any Jehova's Witnesses coming up my drive though.

    I'm not sure what you are trying to say??? The development of that was 100% paid for by the (US) Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency.

    That may be so,,,, but who sits there and thinks,, "gee, I dunno, lets make a dog" ?

    And as an aside,,, if its to do with the armed forces, how come its on utube,, shouldn't it be classified or something?
