    Somehow the wheels are a real letdown. (No pun intended)

    It needs to be able to walk around over uneven terrain, not get stuck on the nearest speed bump.

      Like robots by Boston Dynamics, it starts with wheels, and now it can parkour. So maybe next iteration will be using legs

        This thing is never gonna parlour. They’ve prioritised aesthetics over functionality.
