Watch the Latest Boston Dynamics Robot Jump and Jive and Wail

Boston Dynamics, the Google-owned company that is in the business of creating some truly weird and awesome robots, has just released video of their newest weird robot, called Handle. Handle can lift 100 pounds, travel at 9 mph, and jump four feet in the air. Unlike many of the company’s robots, which walk on two or four feet (that’s bipedal or quadrupedal for all you smarties out there), Handle goes on wheels. And also jumps. It’s pretty cool. Like previous models from Boston Dynamics, Handle shows excellent balance and maneuverability, and can do some pretty cool spin moves, which is very important for a six-and-a-half foot robot.

Last we heard, Google was trying to sell Boston Dynamics, so if you are a secret billionaire, you might want to make a purchase. Check out Handle in action in the video below.

I'm also including the trailer for Young Ones kind of just for the hell of it because the pack mule robot in the film reminds me of Boston Dynamics' Spot, so I'm including a video of Spot getting the shit kicked out of him just for fun too. (Also because Young Ones isn't a great movie, but it's an interesting movie, and I don't think enough people know about it.)
