    1. The robot abuse still goes on, just not in that video. That is one reason why Google divested themselves of BD so so quickly.

  2. Prototypes running off battery packs... very impressive.

  3. People wandering outside Boston Dynamics must feel like they wandered into a Fallout map.

  6. Certainly that huge head or thorax or whatever on Handle must have a purpose that isn't obvious.
    As a computer control of some type, it is HUGE.
    Maybe it the hydraulic motor running the whole thing
