Wow...that was extremely impressive. They had it walking on ice and even had a guy kick it and it was able to stay upright. It almost looks like a real animal when it makes the balance corrections.

Werd, the kicking part is what surprise me h: I thought it would just flop over but the way it corrected itself was cool

With that said, it's creepy looking h: I wanna attach claws and guns to it
