THAT WOULD BE PRETTY INCREDABLE!

Quote:
if the concrete somehow does get smashed up, you can't duct tape it down. carpet is easy fix, then during lunch, or some other break, a more detailed fix up. concrete, well, break that, and yuo need to stop for at least 5 - 10 minutes

I work with concrete a lot with the construction conpany i work for and i know what it is like to bash up a concrete sidewalk with a sledge hammer. Even swinging a sledge hammer over my head and clobbering concrete with all the 170lbs of pure muscle i am just breaks it apart. For a 130lb robot with limited violence factors and certain hardnesses of materials, even if the disigner disign it with the intent to distroy concrete, it would be incomprehencible and radically impossible!
I know you are probably also afraid of chipping, concreat is mixed and made with different materials and certain mixing rates combined with wate,rfor different harnesses pf the surface. so in conclusion, it would be very improbable that concrete would be chipped by a bot like that!
thus eliminating the need for a "quick fix)
