This is a video demonstration of the Roadrunner bipedal robot developed by the Robotics and AI Institute. The 33-pound robot looks like a pair of dismembered robotic legs with wheels for feet, presumably because that’s exactly what it is. It can roll around with its wheels oriented straight ahead or

This is a video highlighting the life of Kiki the sheep, who was born paralyzed after her mother contracted Cache Valley virus from a mosquito while pregnant. Young Kiki was brought to Massachusetts non-profit animal sanctuary Don’t Forget Us, Pet Us, which cares for farm animals with permanent disabilities, where

This is a video of a young rollerblader demonstrating her incredible balance by skating (and spinning around) on a single wheel. That’s wild! For reference, last weekend I tried riding my bike for a few seconds without holding the handlebars and time traveled to a future where I woke up

This is a hype reel for Limx Dynamics’ TRON 1 bipedal robot. The bot is multi-modal thanks to its three sets of interchangeable feet: flat feet, nubbins, and wheels. The wheeling up the stairs then jumping from the top was admittedly impressive. But can it use one foot and one

This is a video of YouTubers Make It Extreme constructing and testing a giant electric monowheel cycle. From the test footage at the end, it looks like you have to keep your feet down the entire time for safety, and it definitely doesn’t turn on a dime. Or even a

Presumably determined to never get spun around by a red shell or banana peel again, this is a video of a dude cruising around in his homemade 19-tire go kart (I partiand a coffin-shaped gas tank right behind the seat). ULTRA TRACTION. Although most of those tires look like they’re

Because everybody uses their spare time differently (I have no spare time), this is a video of Youtuber Chris Makes Stuff constructing a hubless, electric penny farthing bike. The hubless design is cool, but the motorization is a must — pedaling is one of my least favorite part of riding

This is a colorized clip from France circa 1923 featuring some gentlemen participating in cycle-skating. Cycle-skates each had one giant wheel on the inside of the foot so you could roll around doing donuts to impress the ladies at the park. And you know how I feel about impressing the
