ROBOT OF THE WEEK: DROID ON WHEELS
by Hazed
A robot has been fitted with wheels, and taught to balance on them just like a human using roller-skates. This allows it to travel over flat ground fast. It can then use its legs to walk when the going gets rough.
The aim of this skating droid is to help with search and rescue missions.
