Legs can be better than wheels for rough terrain. Mules can go some places jeeps can't.

- reddit_clone 13y agoHa. Now we know why the Imperial army's huge lumbering ATATs have legs instead of wheels.
- usaphp 13y agoBut what about caterpillar? They can go literally on any terrain. Even on Mars :)
- arm85 13y agoHave you seen where the european ibex goat can go on four legs?
- forktheif 13y agoSeriously! Ibexes are insanely good climbers. Random example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmEPbA2R-s8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bmEPbA2R-s8

- JulianMorrison 13y agoTheir parkour is superior.
- 001sky 13y agoThis is a good point, but consider: mules can also go places horses cannot. In order to take advandage of the properties of this level of terrain, you will need articulating ankles/"feet". Note that these robots lack this critical element of sophistication. It is the footwork of the mule which seperates it from the horse.
