Wow.... The Smile Shot
seems epic. But why use 3G network, wouldn't someone be able to hack those things.

Wow. Very impressive. I wish the video showed more movement though.

Now someone go build a Tachikoma

its kinda lame tho, $1.52million and moving at 10kph tops... wonder how it can dodge an rpg >,> even the slowest tank isnt such a sitting duck imho.

Yes, but you gotta start somewhere.

And if you want to be able to dodge an rpg, you are going to need a lot more than $1.52 million to fully research and develop a capable war machine.
