There was a link posted a couple of months ago with the whole video, does anyone remember the name of the tread, or the link?

I think they built it to compete in a DARPA challange, worth $1 million. The objective is to build a vehicle that can drive a certain distance on its own etc.
You can read about it here:

Maybe someone from this forum would like to have a go?
cheers
