This is a really neat robot for the price (link to Amazon.com). Not sure I can avoid buying it.
I can't use "I need protection from the 'animatronic angel of death' (in David's post)" as an excuse. Big Dog (the real one, or the two-guys-in-a-suit one) would walk all over us too.
See how Roboquad fares against a cute puppy (no puppies are harmed):

Matt, this might not be applicable, but there is a group of performance artists called Survival Research Labs (http://www.srl.org) that use oversized violent machinery. I might be mistaken, but the show BattleBots might have been partially created by these people? Their videos are really cool, but their philosophy is more shocking and extreme in purpose than usual consumer bots and more along the line of industrial warfare. Worth checking out, though, if you want to see some crazier stuff.
Here's a TV news piece about them:
