    Looks like it even has "ACE"

    The "Downhill Descent Control" looks like it could do with a little work though.

    I wonder how it would cope with being kicked on the side when it was on uneven terrain....can it raise and place the feet fast enough?
    Pretty amazing display at the end, the jumps were impressive.
    Defense department funding, won't do any good in war, just release some cats in front of it, throw some bones...
