I saw a tethered device stomping on a treadmill, I didn’t see anything “running”. Let me know when it independently covers some ground faster than I can.

Yeh, but slap a saddle on that thing and let’s see what it can really do. ;^)

I've developed an all terrain device that can move quickly over open ground, climb steep mountain inclines, and even wade through water (swimming if necessary) — while carrying 300 pounds of gear.

The power supply lasts for over 12 hours and is rechargeable using locally grown vegetation and water.

If/when it has a system failure, it can be consumed by troops as a high protein ration.

I call my device a MULE.

I guess it’s a start, but until the thing can stay balanced and reach that speed over open ground or a track oval, it’s not “running”.

Can it outrun a shotgun?
