  • who would have guessed around 120 or so years since the invention of the lightbulb, we would have technology like this. I can't imagine the 2130s.

  • i  have a robot

    its cool man

    its clever robot

  • If you want robot to not use so many batteries add some resisters and shet to lower the voltage

  • but he just explained the mechanics and that it needs batteries =[ explain how the legs move, and how the circuit is set to change direction when that part is hit

  • @ItAintEzyBeinCh33zy yeah he kinda does just like an older version with a goatee thing on his chin

  • @davrosd its not a racist remark if it was typed as it was said in the video. now if i said ching chong chinamen orange chicken kung pao, then i can see how that would be seen as racist.

  • @booyakasha69696969 He's a professor in robotics. What can you do other than make racist remarks?

  • @ItAintEzyBeinCh33zy He looks nothing like Jackie Chan. They don't all look alike you moron
