Totally amazing, robotics has certainly come a very long way. Just keeping their balance whilst walking took some serious computing.

Just watching hopping up onto the first platform was something I had never seen, but then to standing jump to the next higher platform.  To hop and turn around 180 and then jump down, seeing it (nearly said he) do the same 180 turn on the top platform, but then doing the back somersault blew my mind.

I used to be able to do standing back somersaults (a very long time ago) and that gave me an adrenaline rush (fear of screwing it up), but I guess adrenaline isn't an issue for the robot.
