So how terrifying is this? Just picture one of these walking, running, or hopping (3:00m in) in your direction down a dark alley.  It’s been a fun ride my friends, however, life is over as we know it. Watch in horror as this 235lb monster (nicknamed “Big Dog” from Boston Dynamics) easily carry 340 lbs, whilst handling being kicked in the side without… sweating (at 0:35), or walking on sheer ice without falling (1:25). I have friends who couldn’t do that (Liam, Ian).
