And I must say, I feel much less compassion for this version that the new one. When this one got kicked over I was actually hoping it'd fall over and break its legs. I mean, it's not lifelike at all. I cared so little I...

...BigDog quadruped robot is freaky to look at, and yet there is something about it that makes you want to view the video over and over again.
