08:15 AM tttb: wheels are not good for robots because they require roads, legs are better
08:15 AM synja: more expensive though
08:15 AM synja: more processing for IK too
08:16 AM synja: reminds me to get my printer back
08:34 AM deshipu: legs are not good for robots because they require comlex sensors, a lot of computing power and a lot of energy
08:34 AM deshipu: not to mention complex software
08:35 AM deshipu: tttb: the best robots are the ones bolted down to the ground
08:35 AM deshipu: it greatly simplifies navigation too

08:38 AM deshipu: see that computer, sensor suite and battery pack on that thing?
