And He Sticks the Landing!



YouTube member hinamitetu builds robots that do gymnastic routines. Here you see Gymnast Robot #16 does a high bar routine and dismounts with a quadruple backflip -and lands perfectly. They don't always work this well, as you can see in his blooper video. (via Metafilter)
