Chinese Army Breaking Demo

Almost as good as Gangnam Style

Yes, lets take an empirical evaluation, for the good of science; perhaps for the good of humanity:
Korean Gangnam Style

Girl in the turquoise shorts has zero chi blockage.

About the only one in the first video that might be a worthy opponent is the girl at 2:25.

I would take them all on at once.

For science of course.

There are better places to post this, but I just can't resist ttt-ing this particular thread as it seems to have taken an oh-so-KFM turn into the absurd.

China’s latest military robot looks like a grotesque mutant, attracts the attention of cynical Japanese netizens
Hayashi 'Fang' Hougi 2 days ago



This mutant robot was featured at the 2014 Beijing International Emergency Rescue Expo and was described by Chinese media as ‘eye-catching’. It certainly is that, but we wouldn’t say it is exactly pleasing to look at. As you can see, the robot looks like a bizarre combination between a mutated four-legged spider and the dried squid I am having with my end-of-summer beer.

The Chinese news outlet claims that this “mountain four-legged moving robot” is built to traverse rocky terrains. It is also capable of surveillance and–somewhat scarily, though as it’s a military robot perhaps expected–shooting. It is apparently also useful in situations where roads have been destroyed, such as at disaster scenes.

Despite the sturdy-looking exterior of the robot, however, Japanese netizens have expressed their doubts about the model, commenting: “This looks an awful lot like what our country has developed, doesn’t it? Or maybe China got to it first?” and, rather snidely, “Let’s hope it doesn’t explode.”



According to Chinese media, the robot weighs 130 kg (286 lbs) and can carry up to 50 kg (110 lbs). It can also climb slopes of up to 30 degrees.

What we found curious about the robot was that its maximum speed is 6km/h (3mph) on flat surfaces and it can only run for two hours at a time before needing to refuel. That basically means that it moves a little slower than I can walk (or a lot slower if I’m walking to a sale at the mall), yet needs to be refueled every 12km. But if this robot is supposed go into mountainous terrains where humans cannot traverse, who is going to be around to top up its fuel tank?

Just for reference DARPA’s WildCat military robot can reach a speed of nearly 50 mph over rough terrains. I think we have a clear winner here.

But can it dance?

Yep, the Chinese Army Breaking Demo is not good. The bricks that used were soft. So were the wooden boards. I think the Chinese Army can do better than that.

Breaking...

What is the point of it?

I can see wanting to test an iron skill. I don't see the purpose of demo-ing it outside of that context.

Also worthy of note is that iron skills are not necessary for all to be able to break things.

And, it's less about what gets broken and more about how the hand is resilient, doesn't bruise and doesn't sustain damage from such actions.
