This is Theo Jansen. It's a really old video and he has been doing this for a long time. But i thought these were so cool.

also after he says he has invented a new wheel, he shows the rino which carries like 3 tons if i remember.

is he crazy or is this cool?

[Cold3y3s]

Both

[Redshift2k5]

Yeah, they're pretty cool
I've also seen tiny versions that come out of a 3D printer fully assembled and fully functional

[Dirk Le Daring]

That is very cool.

[Banshee Bullet]

holy crap that's awesome

[MrHacknslash]

These look awesome, but why exactly does he want these things to roam around on beaches? Is it just for people to enjoy? Also, for a vehicle, moving in only two directions would be sort of a hinderence for non-linear travel and transportation.

Whatever. I'll just watch the video again and stop asking questions.

Both... decidedly both!
