Great balance - I wonder if it’s bullet proof.

There’s something about that thing that is just plain creepy.....maybe because it looks like a killer robot that had its upper torso blown off but it just keeps coming after you.

One good thing...when the Military starts looking for a long life battery is that one WILL be developed. And that’s good news for all of us. As far as the robots go...meh.
