Okay assuming these are real and assuming you can walk in them, fuck me that's an amazing piece of engineering. I generally don't even care how they look. To get these to work as a high heel is unbelievably impressive.

I just want to press a button and have them walk for me

I want to be able to stand still while the hundreds of little legs on my shoes scurry to propel me forward

Give me a $250,000 research grant, 5 other engineering students, and a nebulous deadline at some point in the next 30 years, and consider it done.

Ha, really? Is that 'done' or done?

Only the prototype of course. Another 100 million for the actual product probably covers it

Signed! I like your evident experience and realism on the subject. Take my money!

Did Vivienne Westwood just buy their first 3D printer?

You could skitter around the office.
