Ride 'Em Cowboy

Here's what I want.

Each winter the open space of New England is taken over by snowmobiles and other all terrain vehicles. This past winter there seemed to be an increased percentage of the the four-wheeled machines that you sit on kinda like a motorcyle.

I got to thinking about how you might improve these with future technology, and that got me to thinking about all the robotics research we see of machines walking with legs, on rough terrain. That's the future.

It's only a matter of time before we see one of these ATVs with 4 or 6 legs that carries you across any terrain. And over obstacles that the wheels could never handle.

Cool.
