  As I watched this thing crawling up the stairs in leg mode, I couldnt help but think that must have been what I looked like at 5 AM on Monday mornings back in my mis-spent youth’s “party days”.

  Going forward under leg mode certainly requires commitment. While backing up, one of those "legs" could get hooked under a tree root.

  I forget which race car designer it was who balked at the requirement for a rear view mirror. "What is behind me, I do not care about."
