There's something off-putting about this off-road machine, dubbed "Showtime" by creator Tim Cameron. The way it climbs hills so quickly and fluidly, yet so messily...it's almost like it's alive. Yup, Showtime has driven itself straight into the Uncanny Valley.
The fact that it sounds like an angry chainsaw exacting revenge on the heartless bastards who murdered its chainsaw wife and chainsaw children only adds to the terror and awe this buggy summons up. God help us all if Boston Dynamics ever builds a robot version of this thing, because then we're just one software upgrade away from Skynet.

too puch power and tubing...not enough brains...I'm betting there are modified jeeps out there that can climb better than this leadfoot the epitime of "hey fellas..watch this...! the best part...watching him break it....
Terrible, stupid driver. That thing needs to be geared down and driven by someone with half a brain.
I didn't know too many professional rock crawlers looked at this site! I enjoyed it regardless of his skill. Beastly vehicle!
