im pretty sure running in a zig zag is much cooler than a boring straight line.
btw, just because it can zig zag, doesnt mean it cant run in a straight line. I mean, i doubt they had a zig zag shaped treadmill on which they obtained the results. In fact, im not sure it can zig zag, given that this abilty is the ultimate goal of this project, which is four years long and only started one year ago.

lol, i was a little confused too, i didnt even realise that was a video (FF with noscript) so i read the whole article and thought he was talking about it zig zagging xD

It does kinda look like its running backwards

on another note, i want to build a robot one day that will do house chores for me. Even if its something like making toast in the morning. That would be awesome...

Much better than Cyb Rexes. We all know dinosaurs never existed in the first place. Bringing realism to Bush has always been a secret passion of mine.
