  The Top New Videos list is always full of interesting, current videos. It is always recommended that you have a look through the Top New Videos, but also have a look at these:
  - Upcoming Unsifted Videos - active video submissions that neither are published to the front page nor archived to the submitter's personal queue
- Have you seen a really funny, surprising, scary, interesting, cute or in any other way extra good quality video?
  Post and share it here - VideoSift is the best video aggregator on the Web, where we share, discuss, promote, and interact with the best videos out there on the web. Post it here, and share it with the large community of video-interested users. And - you are guaranteed to find more very good videos here already!
  Mind you, we only share videos you discover that someone else has made; if you "self link," by posting a video you have made, have posted or have interests in, you risk the ban hammer - read the posting guidelines before posting. The sift is NOT for promoting your own videos - it is for sharing videos others have made.

Researchers are increasingly turning to nature for inspiration. Watch a robotic salamander, a water strider robot, mechanical cockroaches and some cool self-configuring robots.

Cool! Animal-like robots always get my vote.

That last one is a true Transformer. Able to change it's shape and move parts around at will.

I'd like to see more video of that last robot transversing obstacles.

Ha! Way to push this through eric. Top 15 after how many tries?

Upvote for that last robot alone.

wow that was really freakin cool! :-D yay robots! boooo skynet!

that last one was utterly amazing. a moving robot that could change into any shape or form to satisfy the terrain by moving around its unattached segments.

Agreed! Last video was amazing!
Anyone have any more info on it?

"Nature's Robots".

Possessive forms require an apostrophe, except the possessive pronouns.
Contractions and regular possessive forms are the only legitimate uses of apostrophes in the English language, and this is one of those cases where there has to be an apostrophe.

Awesome. I'm looking forward to becoming obsolete. Seriously, huge improvements in these areas in the last decade.
