I think a better pallet-drone would be a 4 or 6 legged thing that just goes where you push it. Up stairs, over obstacles, across rocky paths, fords rivers, and tiptoes through forest underbrush. Not exactly related: I've been reading about WW2 and just finished a book on the Sicily/Italy campaign. The mountains caused massive loss of life because defensive positions were so difficult to dislodge. Very much the same as the "fight for every hilltop" carnage in the Pacific theater. I was wondering if a "mech" would even work on mountainous areas, whether it had 2, 4 or 6 legs. It seems like you'd need something with the agility and sure-footing of a mountain goat.
