Check out this robot created by Takeshi Maeda called OmniZero.4. It can climb a ladder, execute a somersault, jump some rope and crack a pair of eggs. Takeshi Maeda took the top prize at a recent ROBO-ONE 11 event. Obviously, it doesn't truly take a whole lot to entertain the judges. Just take a look at the video to see the performance of OmniZero.4 during the ROBO-ONE 11 demonstration phase competitions.
