Re: Legged Robots

It's a very cool idea, but there's a lot of reasons no to.
Bumpers have to be 10-15 inches off the ground, and they can't be moving. You only have so many motors to power everything.
Legged robots would have a problem with balls going into their frame perimeter.
Legged robots would probably be slower.
Obviously, as 71 showed, there are games here legged robots are masterful and great. However, this game just isn't the one for it.
