haha whatever, push that guy on his back and watch him try to get up
you guys have to much imagination, this is far off from being little more than a portable forklift, give it a couple years they might have something to show by then + saying it can run is stupid, I jog faster than that

he was only demoing the movements, not the speed.
you've obviously never used a tickle me Elmo. They fall over and stand up on their own just fine
God you're like must be sad to not consider this even remotley interesting.

It looked to have excellent stability and easy to balance, plus it has the ability to lift several hundred pounds. Wha tmake syou think, in your infinite wisdom, that he couldn't stand back up? Also, it may well have advanced gyro stabilization, indicated by the fact the despite the units own weight, he was able to stand and bounce on one foot with realtive ease, as well as pivot and lift while on one foot.
Given the weight it can lift and the incredible range of motion it displays, I see no difficulty in picturing him simply standing up. Also, I seriously doubt you could push that guy on his back. It's quite likely that if you tried, you'd be getting the favor returned to you as he ever-so-gently nudged you with 300lbs of force sending you to the floor.
As far as speed; it's not a motorcycle, it's a power suit, dumbass. The fact that he can lift a couple hundred pounds in an eyeblink twist-and-lift maneuver and job across a hangar to perhaps, say, lift a humvee off of you, I'd say it's fairly impressive. More maveuverable than a typical forklift and with much more finesse.
As a prototype, it's damned impressive. Even if it always required a power-tether, within a hangar or warehouse environment, it's still extremely useful given it's outrageous versatility and range of motion. It's amazing that some people have no notion of reality given that they have only ever experienced fantasy and fiction and can't extract themselves into the real world. It's a clea rindication of who is a rational adult and who is an inexperienced child (or posesse sonly the mental faculties of one).
