I have no idea who these guys are, but they managed to build an 8-legged, gas-powered spider mech in their spare time. Screw NASA and DARPA - turn them over to rednecks plus Burt Rutan and we'll have a Mars colony and Robotech in 10 years.EDIT: These guys are KLANN R&D, and their website is http://www.mechanicalspider.co...

well, kawharm, it's gas powered so you'd still need to buy gas along with the cost of the spider itself

This is amazing on such a low budget! Walkers could be the future, especially with computer balancing!

It's not so much about any advantage, it's more about building a vehicle with a rather unique method of locomotion. Might not be much of a use for it now, but then again the same goes for most experiments and prototypes.Got to give it to these guys for putting a lot of good work and thought into it either way. Its one very cool machine. :)

Sell it to NASA. They will need it on Mars. The design looks very stable.

yeah.. what advantage would this thing have you ignorant person.

there isnt really any point to using a mech as a war machine, their slow, break easy, and un realiable (so far)
