Take a Ride on a Creepy Crawly Robotic Skateboard [Video]

Who the hell knows after we’re getting hoverboards ? The Land Crawler eXtreme , a creepy 12-legged personal transport bot, is here now, and it’s only a question of time before someone figures out find out how to kick flip one.

Made for his son by the Japanese roboticist Vagabond Works , the Land Crawler eXtreme has six pairs of nightmarishly scurrying legs that will support a 175 pound passenger. The current version moves slowly but steadily, though I’m sure we’ll see a faster moving version and corresponding X-Games event inside the near future. [ Singularity Hub via PopSci ]
