Workbench Tip of the Week

It’s creepy and it’s cool: The Big Dog.

Harry Bingaman’s always been fascinated by advancements made in robotics; a video at the Boston Dynamics site will blow you away.

Visit this site for an introduction to The Big Dog.

Isn’t electronics great? Even on ice, while the Big Dog slipped a little, it never fell down.

Thanks, Harry, for sharing such a neat site. Harry is chief engineer for the Sunbury Broadcasting Corp. in Pennsylvania.
