Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Snackcakes on March 18, 2008, 02:06:03 PM that shit is creepy, but pretty cool
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: thrun on March 18, 2008, 02:34:01 PM It's the Uncanny Valley, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncanny_Valley, that makes it creepy IMO.
It's like, "Hey. That thing moves and looks like semi retarded cattle. But wait, where's the head?? WHERE'S THE HEAD!??!" Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Redbear8 on March 18, 2008, 02:42:33 PM The head is in your closet...waiting for you to look for your slippers so it can eat your soul
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: thrun on March 18, 2008, 02:50:26 PM Good thing I keep my slippers in the dish washer for that exact reason!
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: badazz on March 18, 2008, 03:14:33 PM That is very cool and very creepy. What's next..I cant wait.
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Arkanine on March 18, 2008, 03:58:25 PM put a vagina on it I'd hit it..lol
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: DapperDave on March 18, 2008, 04:45:45 PM About the noise, I think the thing runs on compressed air or pneumatics/hydrualics (so what you hear are the compressors going) - later in the video the thing is in the lab connected to hoses and is completely silent.
Can you imagine 12 of these things running through the forest... with mini-guns... chasing you? Yea...scary...

It's like, "Hey. That thing moves and looks like semi retarded cattle. But wait, where's the head?? WHERE'S THE HEAD!??!" Did anyone notice the chart on that wiki page sites "Zombie" as being at the lowest point in the valley?

Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Redbear8 on March 18, 2008, 05:10:08 PM I know how to kill zombies, I've never faced soul eating retarded robot dogs...
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Hawkes on March 18, 2008, 07:11:48 PM that is very very cool. where can I get one?
Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: thrun on March 18, 2008, 07:28:05 PM that is very very cool. where can I get one? So far they've spent about 10 million on it, you're going to need to get MOAR FUNDINGZ! if you want one. Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Kastil on March 18, 2008, 08:45:35 PM I know how to kill zombies, I've never faced soul eating retarded robot dogs... Well you can't kick it over it seems but it takes forever to get over reckage (they had to speed up the video so it looked faster). So toss down some trash cans in its way and run. Or build a small Alliance Snowspeeder and pilot it around the robots legs trailing a thin wire thus entraping it and making it fall down and explode on the fields of Hoth.Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Farkas on March 19, 2008, 12:16:55 PM that is very very cool. where can I get one?

Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Turkley on March 28, 2008, 01:32:51 PM I've got my black leggings, who's in with me? Do I get to be on the swing with you Rand? Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: DapperDave on March 28, 2008, 03:47:53 PM The real question is:
Who gets to be humped on the bench? God, I never thought I'd have to ask that question again... Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Redbear8 on March 28, 2008, 04:23:20 PM Of course Turk, I wouldn't want anyone else on the swing with me!
Dave, you're on the bench, you know you like being humped by human fakes of a robotic dog. Title: Re: This thing is getting smarter Post by: Jim Tressel on April 15, 2008, 03:15:16 PM [yt=425,350]rz1xEu52UbM[/yt]
