It has a completely new type of movement. Imaging this technique tweaked and controlled.

Now, if only it could land on its feet to hop a second time . . . Or even control which way it hops . . .
But only being 7g, I at least applaud them for that - lightweight robots are hard to do!

Wouldn't it be pretty simple to add another geared cam to shift the weight left or right over the 'legs' and direct the the jump that way?
