Those things are the future ancestors of meme machines i am am talking about.
But still, a crucial part of its evolution.
Having legged lighter war machines that outperform heavier wheeled/threaded war machines is something i expect to happen before 2050.
Threads/Wheels are the easy solution, but as AI advances, the robot dog model becomes the norm, just like how in nature there aren't wheeled animals.
I know i seem like i speak from some kind of position of authority, so yeah. Who knows how it all turns out. I just think this is one of the more plausible and more interesting pathways for military hardware to evolve. Away from tracks and into legs. Tracks/wheels will probably still be used for logistical trucks etc for a long time, as they are just so energy and maintenance efficient.
But if in 2060 we'll see some 4 legged monsters in the woods shooting shit at you and scurrying away, i wouldn't be surprised at all.
