Surely an arm (or two) attached to the top of one of these would allow for almost the same level of interactions, while simplifying the whole "moving around" thing.
- 51Cards 12y agoI think it's an ergonomics thing. We have spent a lot of years building a world and tools modeled around the bipedal creatures that created them them. One of these would have a hard time going through a revolving or spring loaded door or sit in a vehicle. If we can eventually create beings that integrate with the existing world seamlessly it's easier than adapting everything else.
