if only I had the chance to push him

[thestrugglewithin]

get a man to push it and see what happens.

I'd like to see stability reactions in this bi-peds in the same league as "Big Dog".

Will be difficult obviously because its 4 vs 2 legs but still you can kick Big Dog and it will be stable

@thestrugglewithin I've been on a robot kick lately since reading "Physics of the Future" and went to Boston Dynamics' site. It looks like theyr'e indeed working on a 2 leg version of Big Dog. It was still tethered , but I don't think the tether lent much stability - looked like power & communications harnesses. It looked pretty stable - even from a side kick. Fascinating stuff.

@thestrugglewithin even human being wouldnt be able to stand up

[thestrugglewithin]

@juki0h

Really? you cannot stand up against a push or a kick?

[juki0h]

@thestrugglewithin you never said how hard the push or kick will be, could be any speed and strength. id like to see you to see if you can stand up if id kick u!

[thestrugglewithin]

@juki0h

You obviously dont know the different between a push or a shove.

If I mention 'push' and 'kick' in the same sentence, logic would be that the relative strength of a push would be translated to the kick as well.

Obviously not.

[juki0h]

@thestrugglewithin wow, stop trying to analayze everything, a push or shove can be any strength, get over it

[thestrugglewithin]

@juki0h

I'm not analyzing anything - just pointing out that your english isn't great.

[juki0h]

@thestrugglewithin ya well, this is youtube, i really dont care how my english is, got that?

[thestrugglewithin]

@juki0h

me be for understanding you for degradation of the english

[juki0h]

@thestrugglewithin ya well i didnt understand what you just said just now

[hauntedvagina]
