spot


Google-owned Boston Dynamics has created this new quadruped robot. It's crazy to see how it handles them kicking it with such ease.

I'm extremely uncomfortable with that.

Why do we still have troops in the middle east? Just send a couple hundred of these things over there and show the world how we do things.

Have you seen BD's other robots? Wild Cat can run up to 16 MPH.

wild cat

I like from 0:12 to 0:17 when it goes from being terrifying to prancing around.

I don't know why it made me laugh so much when they kicked it, but it did. It almost so mean, but it's hilarious instead.
