  • $\begingroup$ An elegant answer, how are inclines and declines handled? It seems like the level balance will be trimmed by the driver to anticipate grade changes. Or was that what you meant by range finders? Is this a sonar / pressure plate hybrid? I’m expecting the drivers to have their hands full shooting harpoons and raising shields, so as much automation that is believable and durable is best. Engineered like a Battlebot - lots of variables, driving skill goes last. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2023 at 3:02
  • $\begingroup$ @VogonPoet The rangefinder would be responsible for providing data for limb extension/retraction in the case of downwards and upwards gradients respectively. Going up or down a slope would cause a delayed alteration of the automaton's balance, which would allow for changing slopes without forcing continual overextension or underextension. $\endgroup$ Commented Aug 22, 2023 at 3:33
