For anyone that hasn't heard of them they build robots for Darpa and other industrial industries (including SpaceX), the yellow dog is only $75k...

I just couldn't help myself posting their new years video, perhaps now is the time to seriously start thinking about prepping?

We often winge about UK companies being sold ( out ) to foreign investors 
Despite the very US sounding name, Boston Dynamics is now a subsidiary of fairly well known Korean car company - Hyundai
Seems even the US can't keep hold of its assets

That is awesome. Having watched Boston Dynamics robots for many years, you can see the strides that have been made. The androids in the video exhibit great flexibility and fluidity of movement. Well done to the team at Boston Dynamics.

Imagine telling people that your day job involves knocking over robots 😀

I wonder how they are controlled. They must be able to kill the power in case they go out of control.
