Hmmm... Still needs a lot of work. Also, not the first one I've heard of being built at that scale. I think there was one being built in a scrap yard somewhere in the America. But it's a start, regardless.

I dunno, dummy legs aside, it seems to have much better locomotion. Though that's probably just because the smaller scale makes it easier to pull off.
Really, I think that what we need is a system that will take a basic input from a pilot, and turn it into this:
