So the only thing it doesnt do is lift its leg to urinate... yet another waste of my tax dollars. Cool video though!

Oh, goodness... that thing looks like two scrawny-legged old men in the frame of one of those horse or zebra costumes that people wear to costume parties, carrying a running chainsaw.

I think its pretty cool, just not sure what they were intending to do with it.

That thing has no sound discipline.

Load it up with ammo and send it out to troops that are pinned down and running low on ammo??

On set it up with C-4 as a robotic suicide bomber??

There is a lot creepy about it. There was some rumors of weaponizing it.
