That thing is a little creepy, but like the caption on the video said, at times it looks so animal that I did feel bad for it when they kicked it and when it slipped on the ice. That's crazy.

Yea, I felt bad for it when the dude kicked it too.

sounds like a weed wacker :).

Pretty neat thing though. The logic used to stop it from falling over must be pretty intense.

wow-that's pretty incredible. I looked at the screen and said," Why?" when the guy kicked it but then I saw why-I am completely impressed. I couldn't believe the way that thing could get its balance-only the front legs bend inward and that isn't how an animals leg moves. I have to mention that because it's got the word "dog" in the name-and it certainly mimics one very well. A dog that sounds like a huge bumblebee.
