give me another option of how a 600 lb piece of metal could be viably moved

btw the american victory felt a little cheap lol. Japan won the first round, the second round tied (despite a massive US advantage) and US won the 3rd round--and then everyone acted like the US had a massive victory. didn't they like... tie? idk, felt like japan was a lot better in every way except for the fact that it was a lot smaller and lighter than the US robots. felt like they shouldve had a weight bracket since the US robot was taller and like 4x heavier than the japanese robot.

motors....??? even if it is hydraulics it can be supplemented by motors for faster movement. have you not seen bostondynamics’ stuff? sure, massive robots cant move as fast without a stuffload more power, but it doesnt mean that they’re inevitably clunky. plus battery technology is improving a lot due to the potential demand for when electric cars and automatic driver cars kick off, as well as current demand for mobile industry

yeah it really wasn't a huge victory, if anything they were just... even. one win on both sides with a tie in the middle
