  1.  @williamherd7251  I agree, if you use all fans on constant power using a single big fan would be more effective. However, if you actually used the possibilities of having different wind patterns using different speeds for different fans, the design shown here is actually pretty clever. Plus it seems to use off-the-shelf parts so it will be much cheaper than fully custom setup using lots of fans.

  2. Why walk on two feet if you can use three and automatically result in more stability on solid surfaces?

  3.  @WlatPziupp  As I see it, it's a valid research platform for teaching AI to keep the robot upright. However, I don't agree with the design limitation of having two feet with multiple joints when three more simple legs would be more stable and easier to manufacture.

  4. 6:00 Pro tip: if you are trying slackline for the first time, setup it around 30 cm (1 ft) above the ground, not high.
