#2Beautiful. Is this the only one of its kind or are there other known hexagon-based robots? Seems such a practical design after seeing it in action.

#3Reminds me a lot of http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Droideka. Would be very interested in reading about the software used to coordinate everything.

#5What an awesome design. I would love to build one of those if they had a kit you could buy.

#7Very Masamune Shirow! I like it. Seems like its mobility is pretty limited, though - except going downhill, of course.
I wonder if you can steer it at all while rolling, perhaps by going into that sort of pill bug shape a bit and messing with the weight distribution?

You should probably watch the video.

#10Wish sometime in the future such devices get waterproofed and can be used to search missing airplanes. Lost a loved one :(
