I'll be sending that link to my Craft and Design-teaching Dad! I didn't spot the bit where it played guitar though...  |

Well, yeah it does but apparently only one note with long sustain and minor vibrato.

I saw this thing on another forum. Wild stuff. Thing sounds like a giant fly.

WAY COOL!
I have read articles about DARPA sponsored unmanned / robotic vehicle races (in which all of the vehicles are built by university teams). Amazing technology advances over the years.
Here is some video of early development tests when they were still working the kinks out.

My brother in law, who lives in a rural area (where you can shoot your automatic [in the full meaning of the term] weapons out the back door (or windows) and your neighbor's don't hear, care, or are a'busy a'shootin' and a'killin' other stuff), sent this response;
Thanks for the soon to be expected nightmares!
All I have to say is Boston Dynamics best not send that [there] critter to my burg lest they want to see it full of lead and strapped across someone's [automobile] hood.
