OMG, just so you know, that scared the absolute SHIT out of me.

I am SO not a fan of how creepy it looks, no ma'am!

But it's still nifty....

It is nifty. But when its like flailing around on the ice? I wanted to vomit

When I saw this a long time ago my first thought was "what is creepy about a 4 legged robot...?" and then yeah. I watched it and it was scary. I think the only people that find this troubling are the ones who realize what the implications are. If we can't take the batteries out of, or push a robot over, how are we going to stop them?

Did you see the kick that guy gives it at one time? I couldn't stay standing after that kind of kick...

my bad, it's not the same video I watched, but still. You are right. It reminds me of two torso-less people just facing each other and running around carrying a stretcher. amirite?

Yeah, I think it's super strange and just....not healthy. Like. The way it moves over the ice? Its soooo unnerving. It just gives me shivers.

hahahahhahahaha you're so right, that is what it looks like!
