    Isn’t it funny how something that uses 10x the power is faster than a human??

      If anything this just makes the human world record holder seem more impressive. The robot was only 12% faster.

        In general, animals will grow to be optimal for their size & layout. It’s the whole reason why muscle only grows when we strain it/break the fibers. At a point the robot won’t be able to move its legs faster.

        This is also why we use independent wheels for vehicles.
