the science zone: are mechs efficient

you clearly haven't seen boston dynamics if you think asimo is the best we've achieved with bipedal locomotion

asimo is 17 loving years old lmao
do you think people in robotics have been sitting around on their asses for that entire time
Foopster:
no they're not. Its bascially an expensive tank, and those things cost a lot as is.
HellHound:
mechs would be even less effective than tanks; they would have a higher ground pressure and sink into difficult terrain more easily. plus, they'd be much taller than a tank, limiting urban effectiveness as well as stealth.

there's been multiple versions of asimo and tay is right, it moves around like a hunchback
