    Overpriced geek toy. A mule could do the same job. Of course it's not as sexy as a overpriced electro-mule that will take a small army of field techs to maintain.

    Call me impressed when you can submerge it in water, make it operate in foot deep mud, in snow or in Death Valley all day and night and in general be able work for weeks on end without visits from a bunch of six figure contractor personnel.

    Call me impressed when you can eat it after it's failed.

    Still getting a machine to gallop is a pretty impressive feat of control systems engineering all by itself.

    Twentynine Palms is just a few hours cycling from Death Valley... and frequently just as hot and desolate.
