great quote: "it was art. we did it because we could."

looks like the wind-powered sculptures by theo janssen (except noisier). or else the scary spider-mutant toy in toy story...

that is awesome. I think they should have covered the spider feet in tire rubber or something. Just make it more silent, confortable, and have a better grip when turning.

Yeah I agree Empire, but i do believe this was a more or less of a test-run/showing off what they have So far. The guy that built it/driving it looked a little rusty on the controls which led me to the conclusion i made above.

definitely the coolest video i've seen this year. I'm glad people are doing such cool things, and I'd love to know more about the creator.

Just wanted to encourage anyone that likes this type of thing, GO TO BURNINGMAN. Thats where I saw the spider last year. By the way I was there with my friends who built the robot mech thing that is my thumbnail pic.
