They also don't show it traversing any slopes--going up and down and
running around on prepared trails it seems to do fine, but you can run
around on prepared trails in a Volkswagen.

A toy for the idle rich.

Having tried a few experimental vehicles before they were ready for
production, no way would I ride that through the woods. How does it
react to a rock or stick jamming the track? Even four-legged animals
can slip and fall on loose rough ground or ice, and machines can't
come anywhere near their abilities.

As a kid I found that I was better than anyone I knew at running fast
over rocks. I was picking a spot for each foot and remembering it
while it passed out of sight and I chose the next one, meaning I could
look ahead rather than down and anticipate 2 - 3 steps in advance.
Perhaps my nearsighted eyes gave me good depth perception at the
distance of my feet. They didn't for my hands, I had trouble catching
things.

Is machine vision capable of reconstructing the surface of a pile of
rocks?

They are primarily sniffing for a military contract, I'm sure.

Looks like not enough power to go up a huge slope.
No limit to the downhill it can traverse

Gee, wonder why I don't see them turning it on a surface with good
traction?

No doubt it's a 2-stroke job, so it probably has plenty of power.
One helluva skateboard, wot? Looks like a blast to ride.

As fast as balls allow, ah reckon.

I'm particularly intrigued by the skateboard standing surface.
I'll bet the stuffy turds in the Army like it, too.

I found the RC mode in the military video kind of interesting...use it
to drag a trailer full of supplies to a pinned down team? med-evac?

Yeah, cool. I'm glad you mentioned that. I hadn't seen the vid and
will check out more of the site. I must have been in braindead mode
yesterday after all that sledge hammer work...

I hear a very Indian voice screaming "Johnny #5, what has happened to
your head and torso?!?"
