Longhorn Robot

[misirlou]

Saw this article, and the following image was linked. For context, this is a robot for a DARPA project, and someone slapped a set of longhorns on the robot.

"AlphaDog, a DARPA-sponsored project, can carry a payload of 400 pounds for up to 20 miles without having to refuel."

I have one of those, too! Only I call mine a "horse."

Sure glad they spent a few hundred million on that project!

Watching that thing fall over and get kicked is hilarious.

I don't know why, but that thing is creepy looking. I'd hate to see that bastard running at me.

I didn't like that guy kicking and shoving the thing. I'm reporting this to PETR.

In the future, this robot is going to go ticked off by this type of human behavior ....
(FF to ~ 1:30 if it doesnt start there)

We're ****** if that thing becomes aware.

Humans are such jerks sometimes.
