Goddamn that thing is creepy. Awesome, too, but creepy. It's like something out of Half-Life. You know how (purportedly) they use heavy metal to torture captured Arabs, because they're so unfamiliar with the sound? Imagine just setting a bunch loose in the general direction of some Iraqi insurgents. They'd shit their pants so hard they'd distend their colons.

To get over a rock, the wheels have to be 2x the size of that rock, at least, so rough terrain means massive wheels means massive robot. Plus, seen how wheel preform on ice/snow/mud? Spin and get stuck.

Wheels only really work on nice flat ground - hence us having to fuck up a 1/3 of the earth by covering it in tarmac. Driving off road in mud and rough terrain requires a lot of skill, beyond AI tech at the moment.

Even if they are both as good as each other, it's always good to look into different branches and methods of doing stuff.

Somehow, I don't think 1/3 of the planet is covered in tarmac.
