That's cool! Looks like an excavator that could lift about 20 tons. And the thing itself probably weighs 15 tons

Apply that kind of "climbing/walking" to the Canadarm (Canada Space Arm) and you have my space station walkers, a small fragment of my near future hard-sci-fi story, Bittersweet Seeds.

Dumbass excavator, can't it figure out there is nothing to dig at up there?

Bad ass.

Would be a bad time for an epic fail.

I would not trust that tower I don't care how well made. I hate heights as it is let alone heights in heavy machinery that could fail catastrophically.

The operator's balls are bigger than the excavator
