Go to the small window and play the video. This is just too ingenious for words.

PS: Yeah, yeah. Not about super 8 but even Andreas has to find this too groovy to not share with the group.

You know how incredible that is that not only can it walk balanced on two legs but transform? That is pretty cool.

Roger, maybe you can make one! Someone can document your attempts.

Fantastic. The small size is pretty impressive; I recognize some of the servos from my other hobby.

I've heard that Speilberg is planning a live action Transformers movie. Not animated but I expect that, if we ever see it, the robots will be CGI.

This is the most coolest robot I've ever seen!!! I was looking at the screen with my mouth open empty and stuck!

How the hell they can make all the action so acurate? I can balance walking!!!!

Wow, that's awesome.

While Spielberg is producing the Transformers movie, the Japanese are actually making them. I guess we'll see a life-size transformer within our lifetime.

Can you say "More Than Meets The Eye"?

Thanks for sharing.

Especially if you consider public health!

What next? Will factories drive to the individual workers?

Then again, I suppose that started with Henry Ford's assembly line...

Ralph, Roger's link is in fact a real ancestor of the fictitious being from your link. They don't oppose each other, Roger's link supports what we see in yours instead.

Booster, I think I saw that robot from your link on TV, it was shown in a Japanese lab, walking up stairs all by itself. Though they played a little visual trick, they only showed the robot so you automatically assumed it was as tall as a human.
