Sand Flea robot is set to leap into reconnaissance (w/ video) (http://www.physorg.com/news/2012-03-sand-flea-robot-reconnaissance-video.html)
Quote(PhysOrg.com) -- Boston Dynamics' video gallery of troop-supporting robots that trek and haul loads has a new addition that is drawing a sea of impressed viewers. It's the Sand Flea Robot, an eleven-pound wonder that jumps 30 feet high, with a style that stands out in the world of jumping robots. The entertainment value in watching the video is due to the new features that Boston Dynamics injected into it, following the debut of its jumping-robot predecessor, Precision Urban Hopper.
Watch the video. This little machine is very impressive ;D
I agree! That little robot is just awesome.
It jumps so high! - Mind blown...

That movies burned in my mind
It's weird, my brother ended up in the military as a Navy Corpsman stationed with the marine corps. I never joined the military largely because that movie scared the piss out of me. I did end up as a firefighter/emt doing much the same thing as my brother.
In the end my brothers retirement is better then mine....Thanks to Blackwater. I have chronic bronchus and my brother is over paid for driving around with guns. :D
