I think I've seen this before. I clicked off when the ad came up. I have no patience with those things.

No matter how many times I see that thing, it still creeps me out. I think it's the cadence of the legs and the singing of the generator.

Kind of funny when it rolled over - I was surprised it could right itself.

This is pretty cool. Also creepy, but less creepy than the six legged one.

Creepy! Can't wait to see one of these things in a few years galloping along at 100mph with a 500lb load.

IS THIS THING ON? IT'S WHISPER QUIET!!!!

But seriously, I never would have thought that unmanned drones would be so common when I first heard about them years ago.

Unmanned, baby. It's what's happening!
