They have enough market interest (100's or maybe 1000's of units) to justify development effort but not enough to attract the Chinese Walkers (the giant four-legged assault vehicles from "Empire Strikes Back"). My apologies to Mr. Lucas.<br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">I am a HW guy. My wheelhouse is PCB's, FPGA, and firmware.
