I haven't seen the videos, but your responses are making for a really funny thread.

Elaborating on others comments...what if this little guy was a few hundred yards away from you and came across a hurdle (fence, crevice, etc.)??

Boston Dynamics is by far one of my favorite companies. If you guys like this then go check out Big Dog and Little Dog. You will be amazed at what those two robots can do.

With the gent from Cirque du Soleil on the GDC, I wonder to what heights we might be asked to reach.............

This is very cool. I would like to see the mechanism for this jump. It can't be pneumatic, unless there is a very high pressure, small tank and pump on board.

The current design uses a combustion powered linear piston actuator that rotates about an actuated pivot to place the foot of the hopping mechanism on the ground at a 70 degree angle between the piston and the ground.

So there's a legitimate excuse for playing around with potatoes, PVC, WD-40 and spark plugs. :)

I am curious if it is a fueled mechanism, or if it is like an airbag unit. There used to be a battle bot that used High pressure pneumatics that could throw itself or other bots pretty high in the air. T3 was its name I think?

It could be something like the Paslode nail guns that use a fuel cartridge - bang, bang, bang.

How about jumping anvils?
