The Wallace Hopping Tank

[jcf]

The guy didn't have a sidekick called Gromit did he ?   

That thought had occurred to me when I first posted this item!

Madame Rheged  has just suggested that a diorama of one or more of these devices, accompanied by a squad of infantry mounted on pogo sticks  might be in order  (but Bridget has the same inverted sideways view of life  as I do!)

And they just have to be wearing slouch/campaign hats   

The crew or the hopping machine?

Yes. 

And instead of a German Shepard dog they would have kangaroo to keep up.

Please congratulate Madame Rheged on having just the sort of twisted imagination we appreciate around here...

I think, given the franchise's prediliction for walking machines, that we need a sci-fi version of this in Star Wars. I can just see it now, hopping across the snowfields of Hoth, with it's crew having to pull their oversized helmets up from over their eyes after every take-off and landing...

And their war cry would be "Boing, Boing"

I've been trying to find the video but somewhere there is a YouTube of Boston Dynamics (I think) early prototype robot that is exactly one of these (but smaller).

There is a video on YouTube by Cone of arc on this hopping tank in his cursed by design series.

While keeping their eyes open for a pair of grunts carrying a spare tow cable to trip the thing up!
