Aug 16, 2016 at 22:36 comment added Twelfth What type of weapons are going on these giant spider bots? A major advantage to tracked vehicles is recoil is pretty much negated. A 6 legged spiderbot firing a heavy enough weapon might shoot itself back 50 feet every time it fires...or atleast push itself straight down and onto its belly. Can we get some description of 'heavy weapon for the insectiod bot'?

Aug 16, 2016 at 19:58 comment added user20787 @cobaltduck Presume me sorely ignorant. I am aware of big dog and Boston Dynamics, but not much beyond the headlines. Also good reference there, took me a moment but I got it, haha.

Aug 16, 2016 at 17:55 comment added cobaltduck Various military and research groups around the world are already experimenting with walking robots with all numbers of legs (human like =2; cheetah-like=4, ant-like=6, spider-like=8). They have had success and failure and discovered pros and cons along the way (pro: can step over obstacles and terrain wheels can't roll over; cons: slower, way more complexity). It might help us to know what you already know about this, and what details you need filled in.
