The future of Animatronics?

[gunslinger]

For everyone frightened by it [i think it's cute, lol.] Fear not! The project was killed a couple years ago; too expensive. I'm kind of surprised it's taken this long for these vids to make the rounds. But given the time since that was built, I shudder to think of what's to come. Flying spider robots?

[rcrider]

Yeah...creepy, noisy, yet surprisingly light on its feet. Will it be going on a killing rampage before, or after, doing a soft shoe number?

[GhostRider16]

That thing is creepy, but kind of cool at the same time. I'm amazed how it was able to stay upright after being kicked and sliding on the ice.

I think that most of you will enjoy this. It is a comedy spoof of the Big Dog...called "Big Dog Beta"

 

[BeemerBoy]

^ That's comedy gold.

I read this yesterday and had nightmares about it last night.

[Xtreaam]

it's really good.

[Kennyweird]

HOLY CRAP!

That thing gives me the creeps. While it would look good as an animatronic, it would probably be used for warfare first.

[thrillgeek]

I can see Six Flags using that. Right.............. Pretty cool though.

Put saddles on about 30 of those and arrange them in a circle for the creepiest carousel ever...

[tkkyj]

...or put one to use as the ride vehicle in a multi-terrain dark ride...

[BuddyChrist]

Sends a real shiver up my spine to see a robot that can take to the terrain without falling over. Though it may have a long list of positive applications, but I get a huge Terminator vibe from watching it.

[resident7evil]

im really scared of things with long skinny legs that walk creepy..

yeah so i think i just died inside

[cosmic hearse]

My reactions were as follows:

 

1. Amazed and amused

 

2. I felt bad for it when it got kicked and when it slipped.

 

3. Scared and freaked out.

As creepy as that is, I laughed when he kicked it lol

[Sketch105]

I am terrified. If I was ever walking through the woods and saw that thing trotting along, then tried to kick it over and it just regained its balance, I would call authority figures quickly.
