I'm thinking range limited. Rolling is so much more efficient than walking. Maybe walkers have a future for very specialized tasks. |

But walking tanks have never been about need. When it comes to looking cool, legged machines are surely the way to go. Our tax dollars at work. |

Good thing the govt let Hyundai buy Boston Dynamics. We didn't need that technology anyway. |
