The Future-- a bit scary
 
Doubt we'll ever see these surplussed, but I wouldn't be totally surprised if a commercial- toned down version- was made sometime in the future...or???

Still, a bit scary...especially when the same technology is used in an armed version..and that one can run -very-fast-

Awesome dog! I'd love to walk him down the street on a leash and watch people's reaction! I wonder if he can be trained (programmed) to lift his leg and piss on car tyres!

Full Circle
 
Hi Marc

Good one now we have come full circle, the mule was replaced by the vehicle as the beast of burden for the by the truck now its come full circle back to a mechanical mule.

Only one big difference one of these breaks its leg you can serve it for dinner.

Cheers Phil

They would have to get their programming right Tony or when he lifted his leg to pee on the wheel (does that make it a rot wheeler?) he could easily flip the car on its roof.
