Yes it's cool. But it doesn't really have any purpose. It's just for these people to say "oh, look how clever we are, we've made a robot that can walk over bricks"
So yeah. It's a good technicel achievment, with no real purpose.

actually it's designed to be a "donkey" robot that will carry soldiers' supplies around the battle field and follow the leader across any terrain

Yes but if it's that, than it's too slow. Making it vulnerable to pretty much anything. especially snipers.
And you saw how pethetic it was when it was trying to get past a pile of bricks. I mean that's the last thing when your in an infentry squad and could be facing a possible ambush at any turn. And having to wait for some slow-witted donkey. It would be better to use REAL donkeys if I'm honest.

It's a new thing, silly. Better versions will be made in the future.

That was ****ing awesome.
Although, I feel a bit weird, I thought it was cute and I pitied its attempts to move and it was kind of dickish to kick it.

It moved like a real dog, reminding me of my dog and thinking someone kicked my dog.

he kicked it to demonstrate the fact that it realizes it's been pushed and then reacts to stabilize its movement

Yes but you saw how vulnerable the key parts of the engine where. 1 Well placed shot and it's bye bye robot donkey.
