I doubt the people heard laughing was the guy riding the robot! That guy was probably trying to swallow back a flow of vomit while simultaneously hoping there wasn't a software bug that would cause the robot to smash is head like a mellon the cement floor. I guess ATGATT doesn't apply when you're riding a robot.
Hahaha. We have those robots at work. When they get a bit old, work replaces them and sells the old ones with the controllers at auction.
I'm going to save some cash, get one of them, rig it up on a trailer and tour the country's side-show's... :rof:
Very easy to "teach" the program with those robots too, and they'll do the same thing over and over again, no real danger to the "rider" unless you screw up with the height of him/her :rof:
