I would have preferred Terminator music TBH.

See the way they were kicking the crap out of him cause he didn't want to get his feet wet in that muddy puddle?
A little harsh I thought.

nah, served the little bugger right! avoiding puddles... all that shows is artificial intelligence and we don't want that... when the robots get clever and take over, they start kicking us if we don't walk through the puddles!

so apart from walking, what else can it do???

cant see the point of it

it probaly took loads of peeps,loads of time & loads of money

and they basicly got a radio controlled walking thing (you can get the small version fro argos ages 3-10 )

Cos learning to walk is very hard programatically. Once that is sorted, the robot can then be used a platform to deploy other machines into difficult / dangerous terrain? i.e. no need to send a man to the moon, send a robot.

It's cool, but there is NO EXCUSE for that soundtrack! It's just plain wrong!
