I saw a clip early today, about something similar and it was funny & cute because people were a tiny bit concerned that he "kicked the dog".

Pretty amazing actually.

It's funny how that works. I had the same feeling, why kick him? You forget very quickly it's a machine.

The old version goes very fast. Are they just walking on their own or is somebody still on a remote control?
