Getting too old to pack your Deer or Elk out of the woods or just maybe too fat & lazy?
Then this is for you.   :eek:

That is going to be the terminator of the future.  Picture that thing with some sort of 50 caliber heat seeking rifle on it.  ouch

You wouldn't have to worry about packing out any game, they'd here you coming for a 20 mile radius.   :biglaugh:

I agree with Matt...that thing is creepy!!! Good thing it makes so much noise and you can hear it coming. If I saw that in the woods I think I'd empty every thing I had at it.

It may be creepy, but it's damned impressive, too!  Robotics have come such a LONG way.

Yeah it is creepy isn't it, that just not right.

Well I guess it will only be a few years before they make some quite ones and get the price where some folks could afford it.

I found it amazing when the guy kicked it and when it was on ice.
