If you saw the last one you will see that it has certainly evolved.

That was amazing. Damn, thanks man. I wonder how it processes that fast, its AI algorithms must be insane. I'm sure there's gyroscopic balancing systems there too... awesome.

wow. That's AWESOME!!!

Ya gotta love technology!

still, I dunno if it's just me, but seeing an inanimate object behaving in such a lifelike manner is kinda creepy, almost disturbing. It really gives the impression that it can think and understand for itself...

I have built a few robots in my day, but I cannot even imagine building anything that complicated. It would be so much fun though. If only my high school robotics teacher hadn't been such a jerk I would have followed through with going to school for robotics.
