I'm 23 and live in Western Massachusetts, USA and like Video Games, but more than that I like consumer electronics, including and especially focused on cool things I can carry on my person.
Systems I own:

I do marketing for a manufacturing company who makes watertight/airtight enclosures for the US military to put all of their expensive stuff in. i.e guns, missile components, aircraft parts. pretty damn neat. needless to say all of my gaming peripherals are soundly protected by mil-spec cases now.
Hobbies: Drawing, Gaming, Carving, Hiking, Camping, Fishing, Mountain Biking, Climbing (ice and rock), Kayaking, Skim Boarding, Shooting, and pretty much anything else that ends in -ing that takes place outside.
Likes: Dogs, Weapons, Video Games, My Girlfriend, My Girlfriend's Dog, Food, Cooking, Good Water, Gadgets, Things with LCD screens, Watches, Whiskey, Beer, Specialty stores, Internet shopping, and Jackets. Seriously...I have a problem. I have more coats and Jackets than my girlfriend has shoes and purses combined.
Dislikes: Hippies, Unorganized things, dead batteries, Tomatoes, City Water, mice without scroll wheels, the original Xbox controller, mosquitoes & black flies (in that order), Wal-Mart (even though I can't afford not to go), and Sweating because of heat and not physical expenditure.

Also, I was waiting for that thing to jump until the end. That was real cool. I wonder if it can right itself if it is actually flipped on its back? When it fell on the ice I was impressed, but I wanna see it completely flip itself over. When it can do that, it's officially ready to go I would think.
Getting up off of it's back would be really impressive. although i think it could be ready for production even before that becomes reality.
Perhaps a roll over command might be able to work but it would be very difficult as the design will most often call for the unit to be carrying heavy objects. A collapse before falling over technique might be a better bet, as it is that guy in the video couldn't kick it over and the ice couldn't stop him either.
awesome job!
MAN AND MACHINE, POWER EXTREME!!!
It reacts the way an animal would when it slips over and has to climb over unsettled objects. It slips and trys to counter its weight etc
That is fucking amazing.
