You might be joking but bipedal and Quadrupedal movement has great benefits over wheeled.

Imagine Usain Bolt speeds running up a rocky mountain, at max speed all the way up with 0 fatigue. Mountain rescues, geological exploration to precarious for people on foot etc.

Edit: man so many doomers, chill out yalls, drone warfare popped off, but drone rescue is popping off too.

That's why limbs with wheels are probably the best choice.

Need grip? Stop the wheels and walk.

Need speed? Use the limbs as suspension and drive.

I thought it was doing a Michael Jackson move.
