Seriously though, that's some great tech there. The slo-mo "jumping" was neat, the little movements suggesting concentration and then a look of pride afterwards.
The shoulders back running style was a bit odd. I'd think that would make it unstable compared to leaning in the direction of the sprint. ]]>Oct 28th 2009 9:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/ropid-the-adorable-humanoid-can-jump-3-inches-into-the-air-swee/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/28/ropid-the-adorable-humanoid-can-jump-3-inches-into-the-air-swee/
His chupacabra-looking cute eyes will help you inspire "Awww" on single mothers and college chicks - a girl magnet.

Why have a smartphone, when you can have an actual Droid !!! He also serves as a emotional consultant and it is tear-proof.

Look at that thing run and jump, it's basically really eager to FAIL. Poor guy had stage fright, wouldn't even listen to his master half of the time. Durrrrrrrrrrrr.
