I noticed this same ability on that cool looking BEAR robot this week. (i.e. this one) http://www.botjunkie.com/2009/08/21/bear-robot-can-lift-500-pounds-has-cute-ears/ So how long before we have full sized tank robots that can stand up! :) Come to think of it, combining this balancing with a Ripsaw MS1 would be a jaw dropping ability (although its way scary enough without it). (If you've never seen the Ripsaw MS1 here's a short video of it, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tlcenWPzsUU ...Apparently its designed by two brothers and they really know engineering. For example, they have created an amazing track suspension system on it. Its one of the most incredible and scary robots i've ever seen ... imagine it racing towards you!).
