it can't lift it's feet. there was a link on slashdot to a video of it walking a while ago and it is really just two wheeled feet, where you use 'handbrakes' to lock the foot and let the other one move ahead.

look cool though :)

Yeah. Probably a good thing, really. I wouldn't want to miss a step and turn my mech into a $43,000 roadblock.

it would be better if it could lift its feet, still the effect is there when you take that baby out for a spin :P
wonder if anyone gets "pulled over" by the local authorities
