They stopped the video short of the thing stopping, sitting down, and scratching the "flea" in the operators seat off of it.

Its actually made by plustech, and is designed for the forestry industry.

Sorry to nitpick.

I was watching extreme machines on Discovery channel last year and they showed a machine with the same principal as this JD unit. It had 6 or 8 legs and a back hoe digger on it. They claimed it to be able to transverse 60* hills, set-up and start excavating. It was very cool watching this thing crab walk up/down hills that were exrememly steep, wish I could remember more about it for a link, but it was actually a working money making machine that's in use in the feild, not a proto type like this thing....sure they have this JD walking, but what are they gonna do with it now?
