Wow it IS an astromech...

I think his ability will be a free barrel move for the X-wings!

Or you can get a huge ass magnet, attach it to the underside of an ATAT and use two of these for it's balls?

Then you can ATAT teabag echo base.

I just watched the TED Talks on robotics. It makes this guy'd design even more impressive.
