Bizarre doesn't begin to describe that. Who would want it?! Like the kid
in the video says, "WHY?!" LOL. At least it couldn't sneak up on you.

I hate spiders....

I think the guy's already wasted enough time on it.

Fucked if I know why people dedicate thousands of hours & dollars into
things that have the entertainment value of a kid's wind up toy

I have to agree. The novelty of this thing would wear off it 10 minutes.

As it is in the video, yeah, it still needs some refining and is essentially
a toy. But I think with a lot of refining, the technique could have some
applications. Eg off-road it could potentially go places a wheeled vehicle
couldn't - could have military potential for troop movements or as an
armoured vehicle in rough terrain.

That's funny, as I looked at the thing and my first thought was that it
would be hopeless on anything other than perfectly flat ground as it doesn't
have independent "legs".

I also think it will be a very long time indeed before tracked vehicles are
surpassed as the ultimate rough ground vehicle.
