  The main problem is the vertical reinforcing bars - unless, of course, the robot was redesigned to build the walls in vertical passes instead of horizontal. But then you have to cope with the horizontal reinforcing - I think it is a difficult problem which they haven't solved yet. The only clean solution I can think of is a new kind of concrete that has tensile strength - maybe there is a nanotechnology solution to this.
