I still think the Athlete is more impressive than the Spidernaut is, and more planet-researching-enabled than the Robonaout is.

The fact the the Athletes can both walk and drive beats Spideranuts walking abbilty. It's 360 degrees view and walking path is awesome, and the way it can drill and change tools is pure geniousity(?). Only problem is i dont see how the tool in hand can be cahnged when the robot is already on a planet, far away from a human who can chane it. They might add there something that does it,or maybe even a sub-robot that does it
