Pretty cool. Now if they would take my advice and market it. I know my grandkids would be howling for one, or two, or three.

That's wild!! I know nothing about robotics, but I would have expected a foot pad or something on the bottom of the leg for stability.
I agree, if they marketed this as a toy they would selling out!

That's pretty cool. I can see some MIT nerd building a competition fighting robot that can do that so it can constantly escape from an attacking robot. It would have to be fitted with some kind of weapon though, maybe an electric stick that would fry the opponent's robot's executive file and leave it dead.

Very interesting
