Legged Robots
Were any legged robots actually been made by a team and competed with? I believe that it is a very good form of robot locomotion. There are 1, 2 , 4, 6 legged robots that I know of, even Leg/Wheel Hybrids like the RoboTrac. How come they were never really attempted by any teams? I completely understand the cost of the robots, but 1 competition is like 6k, I can make a decent sized 6 legged robot with that budget, just by not going to 1 regional.
