Wow, that must be really creepy seeing it pass by in person.

It won't be long before we have full scale robots that size that are very realistic. Though power generation without a tether might be an issue for a long while.

It actually ate a guy and it's constipated.

Already do (remote control), battery life is about 2 hours.

That isn't what a velociraptor looks like. First velocirapotrs were covered in feathers, likely all raptors were, second they were like 2 feet tall actually.

Actually, isn't velociraptor just the genus or species or whatnot? I know its not a specific dinosaur.

One stunning piece of artwork there, though it looks silly with the performer wearing jeans. Guy should have put black pants on like they use for stage puppeteers.

I wonder if there's a making of video for this. Would love to see what's insider, especially how they rigged up the head movement.

LOL amazing... I agree though, the pants sort of throw it off a bit. Fantastic either way!

Here is what velociraptor probably looked like:

It likely weighed 15 to 30lbs as an adult.
