This is my favorite video of all time

[@laurenjudd2782]

Lol so I'm scrolling through this website for my robotics team, and I see a post by our dear programmer saying we should make next year's robot with this drive. This is when I began laughing my head off, for those of you apart of know about First Robotics Competition you can see how funny this is by just imagining it running across the field!

Cool thanks... The look of the wheel of this robot reminds me of that auxiliary wheel in "Soviet TPP-2 Jumping Tank".

[@BarondePencier]

Can someone please re-release this video with a caption that says "Haters gon' hate."
Because that robot has swagga.

[@tomomisheep]

good match for the music!

[@LiebsterFeind]

Amazing what such a (relatively) simple set of "legs" can do.

[@jh4490]

*puts on sunglasses* out of my way, I've got places to be and things to do

[@dancevideo2]

It is my impression that this leg design may have advantages in terrain where a conventional tracked vehicle could get fouled (for example, in weeds and mud)

[@omaradil11]

Excellent

[@baidayuvictor]

[@djbrout]

Like the video, but it could use some ska music instead of techno

[@kirbyghoul]

I question whether this robot really fulfill a spying role, considering its smugness can be detected from miles away.

No reason to panic. It can't get up on two legs and run.
