    This actually seems awesome, just going through the video on their site made me burst out with 100 different ways in which I would tinker with it, spend time in learning different gaits, some RL or some tricks to have it jump or do a back flip

    I can see some parallel between how arduino gave hobbyist a mini computer they can use in any way imaginable, I can see this kind of thing being used to solve unimaginable problems by hobbyist or RL computer scientist or heck any UG student with claude subscription

    neat! since its written in rust, why not use https://github.com/eclipse-iceoryx/iceoryx2 for ipc?

    This looks really cool! The cuteness of the demo alone makes me want one. Ideally I would also love for it to have a real use case in my home but right now I really cant think of one.

    What is the battery life?

      And can it walk back to a charge station and hook itself up?

    Cute, and quite something if the sim-to-real pipeline is as smooth as we all might hope.
