Yes. I am well aware of that, and in fact, acknowledged in my post that it was a very good design decision considering that there are likely other constraints that forced teams to make legged robots.


Edit: This doesn't look very small by the way.
Your EXAMPLE is a robot that can't do anything but climb stairs. Try getting a robot with tracks to drive the atv, you need two legs to do that, as well as traverse the ground and getting in and out of it.

The real problem with computers is that they do what you tell them to do, not what you want them to do.
