        It looks cool, but it doesn't walk It just shuffles, both feet always rolling on the ground

          true, however in order to properly walk like in the game Mech Warrior, they need it to have a wider stance a more solid frame (you can see it wobble left and right with every step) and the feet need to be wider and bigger.
          Also with every step the Mech has to shift weight left to right etc, in order to maintain balance as it lifts the foot off the ground.

          Good for a first time though

            Well here it is...

            Linking to the image on that site doesn't help because the site is too busy to serve the image.

            If you have it cached already, just upload the image (instead of linking) in a post.

                  I don't think those things were meant to be powered with gasoline motors.. doesn't sound right. The dog barking in the background is interesting.. wonder what he's thinking.

                    Saw the first vid.. yep, pretty wobbly.. don't think the average Luke Skywalker would have much trouble bringing it down with a bit of twine. I really hate the internal combustion sound though... those things should sound like the ones in Return of the Jedi. Never really thought about it before, but I wonder what power source they were supposed to be using..

                        has the potential to be really cool.

                          It's cool that they actually made it, but I'm kind of unimpressed. I totally agree with Elie, it does need a wider stance etc.

                          There's the vid - much faster dload.

                              I saw these guys give a talk about their mech development. They don't have any walking machines yet, but they discussed the issue of balance with stabalization algorithms.
