Is Boston Dynamics the predecessor of Skynet & Cyberdyne Systems? Has anyone warned Sarah Connor or John Connor?

I felt sorry for it when he kicked it too and almost every time it slipped on something and started to fall.
This thing would be cool to have with an electric motor with a solar charging battery system for hauling gear into the backcountry.

Yeah, pretty cool. I wonder how they were able to make it so sensitive to balance and recover so well? That's pretty amazing.

I agree though, that little gas engine has to go.
