Default Re: Back to the Future?

One last point as one assumes its designed for areas where the terrain is hard going.
The operator keeping one eye on the beasty fails to notice the tree root & trips over. In his efforts to save the remote while falling he makes no effort to protect himself & breaks his arm.
Sorry there are so many reasons why the mule is better, its major failing is a lack of speed but have a feeling it might win a race with this contraption.
A lot of work has obviosly gone into it a walking robot is tricky requirng several giros to help it along but I doubt if it could remain upright if subjected to any sort of shock wave.
