They must have swapped videos cause this is just two guys in black suits farting around.

Yeah, it’s real. I saw it on future weapons or something like that on Discovery a while back.

this video is now well over 1.2M views on YouTube… and is truly creepy. But BigDog has creepy cousins too! I found this site that has collected videos of BigDog, LittleDog, RHex and the truly startling RiSE… http://bigdogrobotvideos.com

this shit is scary. all it needs to do is carry a bomb. hide under the leaves till it’s master is gone away then walk up to the enemy. citizens like you and me. I’m sure it can be outfitted with an array of different sensors sending info back to the central headquaters. what a great re-con tool.

Sheesh! Whata’ bunch of Nancy Boys.

Common sense, waste of tax dollars, easy to kill ????

I think I read somewhere that this is a search-and-rescue prototype.

Hence the large payload ability and the tether option.

Still, if made for tactical operations, you can bet they’ll have a swarm.

Is that real? I have my doubts, look at how the legs move? That seems way to advance for our technology. I’m go into more detail of why I don’t think it’s real but I’m tired and baby want a rock star.

i guess it can carry a couple hundred pounds, so there is your armor, a simple targeting system (shoot at anything that moves), a gun and some ammo
yeah, I’m sure when the soldiers got done wetting themselves, they might able to do it some harm to it
But just remember, it can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop, ever, until you are dead.

This must have been a great intellectual exercise but so far a great waste of taxpayers money. Any soldier could knock it out with a couple rounds, and unless there is some sort of super secret battery, it will be about as useful as a dead laptop in a matter of minutes — it takes a lot of juice to do all that jumping around.
