I think everyone was captivated by the original. The little dog robot is even cooler.



I have always been fascinated by robotics. The Big dog spoof is hilarious, for those who enjoy robots.

Further proof how listening to too much prog can have a bad influence on other interests as well. Anything Asian automatically has an "art" badge with John.  ;)

The Big Dog robot is an American creation.



The one in the Tokyo video is a cheap Japanese imitation

Pah, it will never catch on. Small furry creatures will be their downfall:





Or they might rule over us one day: "From techno seeds we first planted ... marching in the streets, dragging iron feet ..."
