I've seen videos of it before, but they seem to be getting a whole lot better.

Anyone else find this really freaking creepy? Like that little bastard will bust through your bedroom door at night making that noise, attempting to collect your soul?

It's the Uncanny Valley, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley, that makes it creepy IMO. 

It's like, "Hey.  That thing moves and looks like semi retarded cattle.  But wait, where's the head??  WHERE'S THE HEAD!??!"

About the noise, I think the thing runs on compressed air or pneumatics/hydrualics (so what you hear are the compressors going) - later in the video the thing is in the lab connected to hoses and is completely silent.

Can you imagine 12 of these things running through the forest...


with mini-guns...


chasing you?


Yea...scary...

So far they've spent about 10 million on it, you're going to need to get MOAR FUNDINGZ! if you want one.
