it doesnt seem very impressive to start out with, but keep watching.

I was pretty amazed!

After one comes, through contact with it's administrators, no longer to cherish greatly the law as a remedy in abuses, then the bottle becomes a sovereign means of direct action.  If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it.  - Ernest Hemingway

If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it.  In the law courts, in business, in government.  There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent.    -Cormac MacCarthy

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.  - Aeschylus

I don't know why, but the beginning really freaked me out. It reminded me of a giant fly-legged-buzzing-spider thing.


Beyond that, this is incredible. While the Honda (?) walking robot was somewhat impressive with it's balancing act, this is the next level. Granted, it's 4 vs 2 legs, but the ice and kick moves really impressed me.

Definitely impressive in its quick response times and agility.
