These videos just keep getting better! LOVE people like Dennis Hong who are so passionate about what they do, they make complicated things like robotics comprehensible and interesting for people like me who have nothing to do with their field.

It's already been said, but The Verge is just on another level. No other tech site right now would do a video like this.

How these things move is so unnatural it's scary. I wouldn't want one even if it did my chores.
