I feel sorry for the poor thing when it gets kicked. Bullying a defenceless droid isn't nice.
Thats wierd i felt exactly the same when the droid started stumbling about trying not to fall over after it was kicked.
As for its walk i think apart from having ankle joints ( hoofs ) aint that how most 4 legged animals walk ?
Is a millitary contract how Sir C can manage to play in all those poker tournaments and tool about generally even though he's not made owt worth buying in over 20 years?
Well, at least one of Sir Clive's products can be bought right now in Dixon's - last time I was through Gatwick Airport, I saw them selling the Sea-Doo underwater thingy that he designed.

They also sell PS3 but no one's buying that either ;)

Isn't that what droids are for? If I had an R2 unit, I'd spend all day just happily kicking it to hear that funny blip/plonk noise. Oh, and the crunch when it falls on its domed face. Priceless. :)
Rght to put it bluntly if I saw that shambling piece of junk coming towards me, I'd be pulling out the telescopic nightstick and beating those ridiculous self-stabilising legs until it fell over, then I'd take great joy in smashing the piece of shit to fucking smithereens.
Happy I would be hmmmmm yes happy, hate a bad Jedi breeds hmmm :D

Oh, so you didn't know it self-destructs and takes everything in a radius of 1 km with it if it falls over?
By the way, I've found another robot by that company, looks much nicer (reminds me of a small dog or seal):
The small one reminds me more of some kind of reptile (despite having 6 legs rather than 4).
However, apart from being able to change the legs for flippers, I have to wonder wouldn't it be an order of magnitude easier for that kind of robot to use tracks (like a tank) rather than legs? Much more efficient for land operations (better battery life), and for amphibious operations you'd just need a pair of propellers that could be deployed (a pair so you don't need a rudder, use differential power to turn).
that is extremely impressive, not that it can walk, they've been making walking machines for years, but the way that it can respond so quickly to it's environment, not tripping over potholes or puddles, and especially the way it recovers when you try to tip it over. amazing
*bump*
I found this one about as creepy as the others, although we might be in for a long wait if it tries to take over the world:
After all that it's task is to fall over :lol:
Oh, no. Every time you turn up something monumental and terrible happens.
I don’t think I have the stomach for it.

Maybe someone will even get an idea for a CSSCGC submission - "Advanced Lawnmower-sound Making Weird-Ass Robot Simulator" or something.
With 8 legs it could be the Dancing Insector off of Star Fox.
Nah! I think the giant fruit machine would be cooler :D
Still not as good as the Fruit Machine Mexicans in Earthbound ;)

D.
that's easy to solve, a hydrogen fuel cell, or a small fission reactor, and it could run for weeks or months
