Re: New skateboard... Just imagine the robotics drive applications this would create
What if the robot had base with four unpowered wheels like a skate board. Then there were two arms with some kind of treads that could push of the ground like a skater's foot. (except both feet would be used in this case). Maybe to brake or slow down there could be some kind of device like that of a scooter where you press down on a piece of metal, and the scooter brakes. (I'm not sure if that made sense at all)
