    They had at least one pit stop to cool the batteries and motors, which involved 3 people working on the thing for 30-50 seconds.

    Still sort an impressive engineering, but really humanoid robots are stupid. A motorized wheelchair could hose these things.

      Bipedal robots make sense only because the infrastructure around was made for humans. Wheeled and tracked robots can have trouble though spaces designed for humans. Designing with wheelchair access is mind had to happen on purpose. A small set of stairs or uneven terrain can create a big challenge.
