It makes me laugh that mainstream media considers every robot from Boston Dynamics to be "nightmare-inducing" or "creepy", "terrifying", etc. I guess that's what makes for good click-bait though.

A couple years ago, when Boston Dynamics made their Happy Holidays video with the Spot robots towing a Santa sleigh, much of the corresponding press made it sound like the robots were unleashed from hell itself and were terrorizing the countryside.

Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball

Two words...

Rocky trail.

Take that, robot bitch!

Not quite the same (but getting closer), but did you seen the video of the two-legger walking through the woods in snow? Stumbled a few times and re-gained its balance. Pretty cool.

Here's the (edited) video, What the F*ck Kevin? Hahahahah.

You know whenever I see a robot I wonder to myself how much ammo will one of those suckers be able to carry and how long until they are in battle.

Apparently it speaks too. It's first words: "Your clothes, give them to me, now!"

Did you see the jump in that video? Not sure how much of a hindrance a rocky trail would be.
