Post by: Steve Joblin on October 29, 2007, 05:51:35 AM

Here is a video of a cute little robot that gallaps like a pony...
It was created by James Andrew Smith from the robotics labs at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec.  Here is a link to his site: http://www.cim.mcgill.ca/~jasmith/research.html

Dude that is one annoying video!
cool propulsion method though... a bit noisy and probably energy-ineffici?nt. I would like to see it turn and do something else then just hop from right to left again and again and again and again...

That's cool that it can maintain it's momentum.
