A friend found this on Slashdot JP:

Very cool walking robot. Controlled using 4 pedals and two joysticks. The guns on the sides actually work and shoot those pink balls shown on the site. :D
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

it has wheels in the feet, so it really shuffles/skates.

do not torment the sleep deprived artist, he may be vicious when cornered,
in case of emergency, administer caffeine to the artist,
he will become docile after that,
and less likely to stab you in the eye with a mechanical pencil

Only 1.5km/h?

*Grumbles* Now if it went 60 or so... I'd buy one for a commute. Those guns would be great for an intimidation factor for slow cars. ;)
