I doesn't look like it's moving very efficiently to me. It kept bumping 
into things, and barely covered any actual distance.

I long for the day when I get my very own mecha-velociraptor:

still very slow paced though... :P

BTW, have you guys seen the new Surrogates movie with Bruce Willis? 
Good movie.  Derivative, but good.  Seems like humanity got tired of 
waiting for true AI and found new uses for the mechas...

I think the US army is using the SWORDS robot now,
it's similar to the TALON bomb disposal robot, but
with a machine gun attached.
