what else is there to talk about
Good first run. Demonstrates true walk cycle with center of mass balance.
Now if they can just get faster actuators, we'd be in business. It does kinda have to rely on static balance since the joints are so slow. Next one should hopefully walk like what we're used to.
The future is now?

Nothing probably. You've skewered every plausible topic of conversation this raises beyond engineering chat in one go because you personally are sick of them and feel that that means no-one else should discuss them either. Congratulations.

slow movements that are executed with difficulty.
