A comment on Boston Dynamics’ new robot stacks boxes [video]. Parent comment
Wheel issues (typical):
1) flat tire (if the wheel is not "solid" only)
2) axle bearing
Controller+swinging counterweight:
1) a gazillion electronic components, connectors and contacts, bearings as well, the actuator for the swinging, etc., etc.
What happens if the environment is a bit humid?
For the wheel, a little rust, for the complex electronic system?
And BTW, we can save 25% by using only three wheels ...
