Thats so fake...the outside feet were floating while making a turn and even if you did make this you wouldnt use metal plates for the feet, you would wrap rubber around them.

Its cool though, new definition of rock crawler

It's not fake. Not all feet have to be on the ground for it to move/turn, that's the advantage of having 8 legs.

It's called Research and development. That was just one video. It's possible they made changes.

I believe I saw that at Burningman. You see that kind of stuff there every year, week, day, hour, street.
