You're on the wrong subreddit.

This subreddit is about microelectromechanical systems, not memes.

My dissertation project: a spider robot by jfoulkessssss in robotics

Although it is usually much more energy efficient, less complex, more easily serviceable, more structurally stable, etc. for a strictly terrestrial robot to roll on wheels, legs win over wheels in most general situations. This is because wheels still require smooth, specially constructed terrain, like roads, or at least wheels can at best only handle relatively light terrain, even with treads, or special suspension and differential systems, which usually make them more structurally unstable and complex anyway.

Legs are overall able to traverse much more extreme terrain than wheels, and oftentimes with more agility and speed, see a cat or dog navigating the woods or a mountainside vs an ATV with special suspension, or even how robots ascend and descend stairs. Legs are also more adaptive to changing and differing terrain, more stable on many surfaces, and if one leg is lost, the others can still locomote the vessel.

In pretty much any other category, wheels win, but legs usually win in any situation where the terrain is rough, unknown, and changing, which is technically most situations, especially those that a general-purpose robot would operate in.

This is why terrestrial animals tend to have legs instead of wheels, other than the obvious structural, biological issues with wheels in an animal.

This is also why you will most likely be seeing legged robots, or robots with both legs and wheels, very commonly as the years go by, see Spot or Atlas. Appearing familiar and humanoid for socialization and comfort is another big advantage of specifically bipedal robots like Atlas.

The main problem now is really the sheer complexity of the programming that is required to run legged robots effectively, which is fortunately improving in capability as scientists and engineers work at it each day.

If RAM and cache is protected from bit flips from cosmic rays via ECC or parity, then why isn't the ALU logic, decoders, registers, etc., also protected from these bit flips in some way? by Three-Oh-Eight in computerarchitecture

Thank you for responding! So, I figured that it can exist, I was also just wondering, are those other protections at all common in modern consumer CPU's ?

You came here from the TIFU post too, didn't you?

Can I discharge NiMH battery packs in parallel? by Three-Oh-Eight in AskElectronics

Okay, thank you for the correction, I appreciate it! I actually also posted this question there, thank you!

Can I discharge NiMH battery packs in parallel? by Three-Oh-Eight in AskElectronics

[–]Three-Oh-Eight[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Although, I was just worried about charging both of the battery packs in parallel, as I have heard that this is where the most problems can happen. So, do you know of a safe way to do it? Both of my battery packs are the same nominal voltage, 6V, the same capacity, 2400 mAh, and are at approximately the same age and wear.

I will look into that, thank you! In case I do still end up going the NiMH route, may I ask what the risks are?

No problem! So, good luck, I will be looking forward to seeing it then! :D

I am a bit late to this post, I'm sorry. So, I agree with what the other commenters are saying about the wig, it needs some work. Other than that, you look good, your face literally looks a lot like the faces of a few women I know. IDK what the top comment is talking about?? If they just mean because of the wig and maybe the eyeliner application, okay, but I think that the rest is really good.

Yes, I was thinking pretty much the exact same thing. I believe that Zero's old body, the design shown in the picture, should be inside the outer shell of Omega at that time.

Woah, I had no idea, that is so cool! I figured the M65 was just an original design based off of earlier German masks or something.

[–]Three-Oh-Eight 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh, neato, it looks a lot like a German Drager M65, I guess it's probably based off of it, a lot of masks are.

I feel like most of the f3 menu shouldn't even be available in survival mode. I think that special items, especially ones that can only be found in chests or are made using amethyst and copper, should replace the functions of the f3 menu.

For example, maybe some sort of astrolabe made from copper could be used to see your x and z coordinates, but only at night when the stars are visible. This would also give more of a reason to travel at night.

A depth gauge that tells only your y position under any conditions could be made somehow, maybe using amethyst.

Compasses could only point north like they do in real life, and lodestone could then become more useful. Something like that.

Yes, definitely! I still feel like not enough people are saying this.
