Almost Bambi like. I wonder if they shot it's mother too?

What was amazing in that segment, and the one that Wayne mentioned where the guy kicks it sideways, is the balance recovery that the thing has. It was staggering (pardon the pun) to me that the machine can display such animal-like reponses.

It made me think of the AT-AT walkers from Star Wars, but better. I think you'd have a hard time trying to trip this one up.
