What has six legs, gas, weighs more than a ton and can walk over cars. Stompy the Rideable Hexapod, that's what. Stompy is a project envisioned by the Robotics Intensive class at Artisan's Asylum in Boston, and with your help, it could become a reality. Stompy's six hydraulic legs are powered by a 135-hp, propane-fueled forklift engine and can carry two passengers high above the terrain.
What are the chances of this thing coming to life? Pretty good, actually.
