Now that is one serious robot..
this has been discussed on slashdot before. i particularly like the idea that it can hold a pilot... if you go to the japanese product site and click around on links with "T-52" (the only characters i can make out) you can see a video (quicktime & wmv) of the thing moving around. boring video, but again, cool idea.
