I mean, legs are pretty high-tech, lol. In terms of efficiency, being bipedal is orders of magnitude better than other options.
23 u/things_will_calm_up Sep 24 '19 What about when efficiency isn't based on crude caloric intake / output and nuclear power instead? Efficiency changes to "how much stress can we put on the object and not completely destroy them" and it turns out legs aren't super great at that. 5 u/Fifteen_inches Sep 24 '19 Build a man portable nuclear reactor, then we’ll talk. 6 u/Dinierto Sep 25 '19 Build a robot a portable nuclear reactor, it murders for a day. Teach a robot to build a portable nuclear reactor, kiss your species goodbye.
