[quote:Anonymous Coward 18371682:MV8xOTgwMjgxXzM0MTE5MDM4XzNDMjNGRDJF] For everyone saying fishnets and baseball bats, shotguns etc... How will that help when there are 200 of them coming for you? Hell, make that 3. Another note, since when does DARPA do what it does to SAVE lives? Seems everything coming out of there is used in the military, and last I checked the military isn't good at humanitarian issues. They are very good at making dead bodies though. All we need is the giant walkers from star wars, then those can run into battle, side doors pop open, and 50 of these fuckers come running out, along with aerial drones to monitor things. We are fucking insane, by we I mean humans in general. Hello apocalypse, I see you getting closer... [/quote]

It now runs twice as fast as initially designed.
Imagine having these locked onto you in the big brother state...making police dogs these days seem absolutely nothing in comparison.
Here is a new video of the real world SKYNET, and will be one of the tools they are implementing along with mosquito drones and who knows what else.
All under the guise of "to keep us safe".
Boston Dynamics say they will start testing on an untethered outdoor version early next year...cannot wait to see that.

"Using a series of hydraulic pumps and algorithms, Boston Dynamics — which is developing the Cheetah robot under DARPA’s Maximum Mobility and Manipulation program — has so far managed to achieve the record speeds while being stabilized in the center of a treadmill.
Using cleverer algorithms and more powerful pumps,
these researchers hope to increase the Cheetah’s speed once more on natural terrain, reaching speeds of up to 70 miles per hour, thereby making it one of the most terrifying robots of all time.
