That was truly impressive, I Wonder if it is much trial by error. It must have taken a long time, I like to see what People made for hundreds of years ago and today we cant make the simplest stuff right...

Very impressive what People managed to make and do before, With just their brain and simple Tools

freaking awesome! So amazing that it was built hundreds of years ago.

Brandon beat me to mentioning Hugo. Great movie.

Asimo and the robot Boston Dynamics have built that can catch itself from falling freak me out. Why? Just how long do you think it'll be before someone says "Let's armor plate it and put a machine gun on it's arm"? Those freak me out.
