    You don't need good aim with a Rocket Propelled Grenade Launcher. Not to mention they have a range of 300-500 meters. And that thing isn't going to be moving fast.
    I love watching that video. The part where the guy walks up to it and kicks it and the robot just keeps on moving like nothing happens is pretty cool.

    That's pretty cool. It's amazingly lifelike. I think it's interesting some of the best designs mimic nature.

    That is the most amazing and scary thing I have seen for a long time. I wasn't impressed by the speed at which it walked over the extremely rough terrain but when it walked on the ice and did the jump, it restored my faith.
