Anybody who is willing to spend $300,000 is dumb as hell. It looks like a prop from a 1960s sci-fi film. I think this thing has little pratical use, a wheel based machine is far  quicker. This obsession with mechs that stand upright like a human is inherently flawed. All you would have to do is take the legs out with a missle or something and it's history. And man is this thing shaking to death. Its almost like its having a seizure. This is a huge waste of time and money.
