That is seriously the most amazing robotic anything I have seen.
That thing even handled the ice really well too. Only thing that could be improved would be to make it electric of course! I'm sure it loses a bit of it's potential with all that noise it makes.

At first I thought it was a joke, like a couple guys in a horse costume. Pretty impresive.

to what jayjay said. I saw it a while ago, but still amazing none-the-less. Its funny when it gets kicks... it barely even moves. And the way it reacts on the ice is just like a real animal... juts amazing.

THAT...is truly amazing.

Like others have said, the way it walks and reacts to it's environment is just like a real animal. They really should put some metal studs in the feet though- That was pretty cruel making it walk onto the ice unprepared! I'll be the engineers were in shock when it didn't fall over!
