That looks similar to the army of robots I'm builing in my basement to take over the world.
Seriously, that thing is kinda unnerving and creepy. The part of the video where it's trying to maintain it's balance on the ice really makes it look like it's an animal rather than a robot.

I seen one of those in the woods last year while hunting, it didn't come close enough to take a shot.
