Oh boy, I wasn't kidding when I said the scientists were quite busy making leaps and strides in robot development --or what I call "hastening the robot uprising."
Today's installment?
Why our intrepid scientists have engineered a four-legged robot called "Big Dog." The video is a little longer than a quick watch so I'll direct you to the important parts.
Important Part #1 comes in at around :35 seconds when its booted creator tries to kick it over. Does it fall over so we can then rush in with our plasma rifles and shoot it? Nope. It stumbles and continues to seek out its Terminator brethren to alert them to our presence. I'm sure the conversation went something like this:
[robot bark]
"What's that boy? A human in grunge gear tried to kick you over?"
[robot bark]
"Well I'm holding two plasma cannons just show me where to get them"

Important Part #2 clocks in at around 3:03 when our lovable but nearsighted scientists have taught "Big Dog" to GALLOP. And more importantly the shocking twist at 3:06 when it LEAPS over what I can only assume will be a trap humans have set for the beast.
Keep it up scientists.
It's the end of the world as we know it. And I feel fine.
