The legs do seem like a huge overcomplication. I can't think of many situations where they would be worth the added cost/complexity (compared to simple wheels).

- robswc 2y agoTotally agree here... but I have no robotics experience to back it up. Seems at the very least it could have little quad wheel things so it doesn't have to worry about balance as much.
