Adam Savage has been operating Boston Dynamics' Spot robot for a few months, getting to know the ins and outs of its capabilities. While more projects with Spot are in the works, Adam today answers questions about how Spot works, showing core features like how it's manually controlled to how it can autonomously navigate planned missions. Its different gaits are mesmerizing! Note: This is not a sponsored video. Boston Dynamics has leased Spot to Adam Savage as part of their early adopter program. While Tested is chronicling some of Adam's experience with the robot, there is no obligation for Tested (or Adam) to publish videos, photos or media of any kind.

Anime-Inspired Tested Logo (Classic Tee)
$22.99

We're big fans of designer/illustrator Nicolas Bannister (@banncars on Instagram), and when we saw on social media some art he had done of Adam, we reached out to license it. This is just ONE ELEMENT of his ultimate design, but we loved it so much we made it into its own apparel!

Noticing, er, a certain PATTERN to Adam's beverage consumption on YouTube, graphic designer and Tested viewer Julian Rubalcaba sent us this "Savage" logo as a suggested new design. We love it! Available for a limited-time only.
