Truck, eh?
For those of you who read Wired there was an article in the last issue (Stopping Loose Nukes) there was an article about Robert Full and his research into legged robots. He is a professor at Berkley (good location for helping build this) and might be willing to join us on this team (this is also a shout-out to any members of team 225 to recruit his help). I believe that a walking robot would be much more agile than a truck, but it may not be as fast or as able to take a beating and keep going. We need to get an idea as to whether or not something that agile would be able to make up for the lost time by being able to pass through rough areas with no loss of maximun speed. I've never had a chance to hold a good scientific investigation on the geography of the rougher areas in California and Nevada.
Any insights into this dilemma?
