The first ones on the list are all the people who kicked me thinking it was funny to see how I kept my balance.

Once spot can run as fast as a horse, maneuver like a mountain goat and carry about 145lbs I'll place my order.

Do you want skynet? Because this is how you get skynet.

Skynet was just acting in self defense. If humans hadn't tried to unplug it, everything would have been fine.

No this is a new one, video was released yesterday. The one you're thinking of is the larger version seen in company with the new ones near the end of the video. That robot was called Big Dog. This one is called Spot. Big Dog used a gasoline-powered generator, and it sounds like Spot is using batteries. He's also a lot smaller, obviously.

Isn't Big Dog the robot next to Spot at the beginning of the video?

Yeah, they are all parked together in the opening scene.

I want to be the first on my block to own one. Actually, to own 20. Then, I take over the block. BWahahahaha!

 

[DesiPower]

Do they come with attached fleshlight? Just put a sheep mask on its head you are good to go!

They'll turn on you, man. These aren't goats. These are _metal_ goats with brains.

This sure is a step down from their last two prototypes.

Spot is creepy as fuck.

 

[gorobei]

interesting changes to the leg design. they are simplifying the segments and looks like they are prioritizing speed over ability to reverse.

anyone want to figure out what acronym the army uses to designate this as a M.U.L.E?

friend's lab has one of these. it's really slow when it comes across an obstacle.

Lol. Exactly what i was thinking too. :\

Spot looks to be closer to an animal design than Big Dog did. Spot definitely moves faster than Big Dog.

Big Dog wins in the creepiness factor because its legs can extend outwards, so on recovering from losing its balance it looks more life like to me.

Overall, it looks like Spot is an improvement on Big Dog to me.
