Re: Abandoning Floor Loading

It will be important to have the capability to pick up off the floor. However, I do not think that it will be our primary strategy unless the above ^^^ is the scenario. By all means, please make robots that can't pick up off the floor. Be my guest!

It was a huge factor in 2007, now some rules have been changed to make it more challenging, but don't let the challenge scare you. It can be done, I have just the design.
