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!"

  1. 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!
