AT-ATs Coming to a Forest Near You

Audent writes "Not strictly speaking anything any of us should classify as work related, or even open source, but holy shitbags! I want one of these. Plustech, a subsidiary of tractor maker John Deere, has built a six-legged walking logging machine that just has to be the prototype for an AT-AT walker. Imagine parking this puppy at the mall!"

    If you don't want to see them set your preferences above 0 or so. However there is some pretty good stuff that gets missed or occasionally suppressed at 0.

  4. give it time.... by johnpaul191 · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    think what a mess cars, bikes and motorcycles were at first..... i'm sure in time it will destroy the forest like nothing else...... if anything else is left to destroy by the time they perfect it.
    actually when you consider the time they probably spend accessing logs by building roads and what not......

    NO WAIT! SCREW THIS! they should only be logging forests they planted to log in the first place. if the forest floor is rough and messy, then it is meant to be left alone. i hope the Army takes this project over and uses it to shoot rebel scum. please leave the trees alone. thanks bye!

    I see something like this.. I get inspired..

    That doesn't mean I accomplish anything useful...

    That just means I'm destined to spend the next year attempting to one up that thing.. just because I know I can....

    Until the next project comes along....

    Actually it was the combination of females and alternative 2-legged gaits, of which skipping is one.
