Sahuagin posted... well, that's the premise. what if... very large bipedal vehicles became the dominant military asset? The idea is that lighter Wanzer-esque bipedal tanks would be launchable from aircraft carriers/freught helicopter in lieu of landing craft for tanks. They don't need to go very far once landed - just do regular tank stuff until the marines arrive --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ...

Lokarin posted... I mean, it'd be safer for roads to use wheels and more stable in mud to use tracks Tracks (and wheels) can only scale heights up to a certain degree, and can potentially get stuck in rubble and ruins. Legs would be less efficient on relatively stable ground but would be able to take you places that treads can't. Of course, it's also a question of just how you build legs. You're dealing with different dynamics if you're talking traditional Japanese mechs with two legs, versus more animal-like mechs with four legs, or even something more akin to a spider with multiple independent legs (potentially with climbing/grabbing/pulling hooks/claws of some kind). And, of course, there's always more exotic designs... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:VF-1S-Strike-Valkyrie-02.jpg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5W4MYJt8c4w --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

There are a couple potential advantages. A bipedal tank would stand taller than a wheeled or tracked vehicle, allowing a higher gun platform. This, of course, also has the tradeoff of being a better target. A bipedal tank could crouch behind cover and pop up to fire its weapons, then crouch down again, like a mobile disappearing gun. Of course, in the face of air superiority all tanks, wheeled, tracked, or legged, are pretty much sitting ducks. --- Minutus cantorum, minutus balorum, Minutus carborata descendum pantorum. ...

well I was gonna say that with wheels maybe you'd have center of mass issues, but then I remembered we already have pretty awesome bipedal wheeled robots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7xvqQeoA8c I do think footed bipedal robots have the advantage of being able to move their feet to balance, whereas wheeled bots have their feet more or less fixed and have to move their arms and torso to balance. footed bot for comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF4DML7FIWk it does still need to use its arms I guess but maybe not as much --- The truth basks in scrutiny. http://i.imgur.com/GMouTGs.jpg http://projecteuler.net/profile/Sahuagin.png ...
