> [@AfXtc777](#): > > The real question is, Can I ride this thing? Maybe even surf on it? it said at one point in the vid it weighs like 230 lbs or something, and max payload is 340 i think… i dunno if that means it can carry 340 on top of what it already weighs…or can carry 110 on it’s back…but either way…i’m impressed that something 230 lbs with such skinny looking legs, almost fragile looking, was able to recover the way it did, and then leap the way it did… ---

Amazing video, but I feel that to be real-world useful it would need to be quieter and have a hell of an energy source. Would be great to recon, search and rescue in hostile environments (chem, nuke, bio etc.) Definately, a technology with tons of potential. ---

i wished they were able to knock it down, i wanna see if it’s capable of picking itself back up…for example, if it were set on its back, do the legs bend upward enough so that it can tip itself back rightside up? ---
