Whoa, was browsing Engadget and found something called the Mondo Spider.

Apparently these guys built a mechanical spider that could carry a person. The Mondo Spider took three months to design, six months to build, and had a budget of $15,000.

This'll easily be my next vehicle.

That's absolutely insane, moves much quicker than you'd expect it to... Now if only it could scale cliffs.

Haha, that's pretty awesome. Check this one out, they put glowrods on it and set it out at night:

That is sexual! As highpass said all we need is for it to climb vertical walls or cliffs :D

I dont think anyone got any ideas from that film apart from people that topped themselves halfway through it to stop the pain
