Born Hunter 17,763 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 I'm sure they said the same about the automobile when it was first invented. Why would anyone chose one of those over a decent horse? It's innovative! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chartpolski 23,480 Posted November 6, 2012 Report Share Posted November 6, 2012 (edited) I'm sure they said the same about the automobile when it was first invented. Why would anyone chose one of those over a decent horse? It's innovative! And they said Clive Sinclairs C5 would take over from the car !! LMFAO !! Not every new innovation is a world beater !!

P5HEN 168 Posted November 7, 2012 Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I can't see the vid on this machine. Is it of the DARPA legged squad support system? Fecking mad some of the top end military projects. "Rise of the machines" lol Interestingly and coincidentally the British military satalite network is called 'Skynet'....... you dont know where sarah connor lives do u ? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers. You're right, they aren't all the future. But no body learnt a thing by not having a go..... The military are well known for supporting and funding 'mad scientists'. Surely you can see the advantage of legged vehicle over a wheeled one? Rocky alpine terrain would completely f**k a wheeled vehicle! With a few more years work whats to say that 'beatle' can't scale a 6 foot sheer cliff in exactly the same way a bug would something of relative height? Something again a wheeled vehicle could'nt. I can see a lot of potential for such a thing personally. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted November 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2012 I think you also have to look at that thing as the first step along the way to something.. If I was trying to see the way that thing could go, I'd be looking at the UAV's that are now in daily service. They started off as no more than pilotless eyes in the sky, now they are armed and capable of precision strikes against hostile targets.. That thing may look noisy and bulky, but if its adopted its descendants will undoubtedly become more silent and efficient as the years go on and may ultimately become armed and deadly to boot..
