Wildcat robot makes a good NOPE gif.
Or an "I must go, my people need me" gif.
By the way, it comes from this article:

The video is actually quite impressive:
At first, the gif was hilarious. After watching that video, I am scared out of my mind.

It kinda bothers me that they gave it knees instead of elbows on the front 2 limbs - I think that's why it wipes out in the video. No 4-legged animals have 4 knees.
...except elephants.
Boston Dynamics made an all-terrain robot dog, too: http://www.bostondynamics.com/
that is the whole point....jeez
I thought the point of robots is to serve humanity, not destroy it!
who are you, Isaac Asimov?
I just like my robots to be less droney, more hippie.
