SNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

The US Militarie's M1 Abrams can go up to 60 Miles per hour. That' about 100 KPH, right?

Some guy in alaska is also making a mech (in the hopes of eventualy creating a kind of an arena robot battling sport.)

Yep, 60 mph is almost exactly 100 kph. And the M1 is one of the largest and most formidable tanks in use today, right?

An all-terrain, totally diverse MG-style weapon would be pretty pointless if it was limited to a crawlingly slow speed. Something like that has got to be manoueverable in order to fight, I believe.

I guess that balance would be a key issue in the creation of a machine like this. It's got to be able to adjust its centre of gravity, just like a person does subconsciously, in order to take proper steps without nearly falling over all the time. This'd be especially important for non-flat terrain.
