Transform And Walk Out: Robot's Wheels Turn To Legs

This is a video of a little robot whose wheels fold in half to form crude legs so it can go where no wheeled robot has gone before. Good for you. Of course, you wouldn't have to build robots with wheels that transform into legs if you'd just strap f***ing jetpacks on them already. "You've doomed us all, GW!" Yeaaaaaah, I plan on going skydiving this weekend, so I've kinda stopped caring. "Why?!" Have you seen my parachute? "That's a bookbag." *wink*

Hit the jump for a video of the least impressive Transformer ever (kidding, that honor belongs to Wheelie).

Thanks to WuLongTi, who agrees if he had to choose between wheels or legs he'd choose a helicopter that comes out of his head like Inspector Gadget. Good call.
