Walking robot

I visited a robotics lab a few months ago and just found my pictures. I dunno about you, but I think it'd be PRETTY COOL if a team did this (see picture) for their drive. I'm sure there'd be plenty of disadvantages, such as supporting 130 pounds of beefy robot, but there are plenty of advantages, too. If FIRST were to do a game consisting of getting over obstacles, for example, this robot's legs would easily climb them.

Man.. I wish I had a video.. The robot had mad climbing skills
