Re: Legged Robots
As a design rule of thumb, legs should only be used where wheels won't work. Legs are more complicated, slower, less powerful, and difficult to program. Wheels are simple, fast, and reliable.
There aren't many places where wheels or tracks won't work.
That said, it would still be cool to see a fast legged robot in a FIRST competition. Not saying it can't be done, it's just not for rookies.
