I used to think that robots might be doomed to be stumbling clunk bots. Buy Ive come to realise they could surpass human agility at least while their batteries last Brute force computational power allied to smart algorithms can yield devastating results. I was like woah there when i saw this the first time. I blame it all on the Koreans myself.
