It's hard to look at it without thinking somebody is going to want to ride it. Working toward the next level of a mechanical bull.

Money to be made.

They should get a cowboy or cow girl, put a saddle on it, get them to ride it, that way the video would be super-viral!

My imagination is running wild with this one. There will be car lots filled with these things one day. Why stop with sitting on top they can build one big enough where you sit inside with gyro stabilizers with a digital screen.

At some point I can see mars rovers with this tech. No more getting stuck because of a stupid rock.

These things are cool...ever seen the Chettah one? That thing is fast.

Sounds like a 2-stroke engine. An army of those could just gallop around and pollute us into extinction...

When they get to this stage ring me, I would love to see it, I think!



Until then, they need ankles and feet! It looks like a stumpy!

I can already hear the salesmen talking. Wonder if they'll use the old 'only ridden by an old lady to church' line.

Maybe they will make a carbon fiber/Kevlar exoskeleton and paint it to look like those nasty jumbo hornets and scare the bejesus out of everyone with the buzzing and all. Maybe add a bug head with multi-faceted eyes (cameras in strategically angled facets) just to top it off.
