follow up to their "big dog" I guess, amazing technology, one drawback is it's kinda noisy making a stealthy approach difficult. I guess battery power alone would be asking too much to power all the hydraulic and computer systems this thing requires..

Keep it up, guys. In another decade it will be just as good as a properly-trained war horse. Now why aren't we using those anymore?

legs allow it to follow infantry over rough terrain. I doubt it's as energy efficient as wheels.

No one is going to protest when a robot horse gets shot.
