This Will End Us All

Just saw this over at Grinding.be.  Quite the impressive mechanical beast!

Want to think of something real scary?  Imagine this thing with two Microsoft Kinects and two independent, turret-mounted, fully-automatic weapons.  Let’s add a grenade launcher and some armor plating while we’re at it.  This thing could potentially become an automated death-machine.  Think you could pull a RoboCop and run down/up a flight of stairs in order to escape?  NOPE!  It can easily traverse inclines and irregular terrain, and even if you did somehow manage to knock it over, it can get up effortlessly.

This is the elite order-keeper of our dystopian nightmares.
