WOW. Wars have been started by throwing little rocks. http://www.engadget.com/2013/02/28/bigdog-robot-has-an-arm-now-run/#continued

    Maybe people will think twice about kicking ( see 0:35) it now.

    That was so freaky seeing it chuck that brick! My robot arm had a hard time picking up an empty Dr. Pepper can.

    Aw big dog has a head now!
    I miss outside-big dog who buzzes like a (gigantic) bee.
    Notice that he doesn't start walking in place until after he lifts the brick?
    I wonder exactly how his balance system works.
    The gait is cute when walking, but its strange to see him walk in place just to hold his balance here.

    I wonder how well the netting off to the right would stop a misthrown brick?
