minus-squareGodort@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoThe square-cube law is the rule saying that if you increase something’s size, its volume will also increase proportionally. Ie: if you have a 1x1x1 cube it’s volume is 1, but if you have a 2x2x2 cube it’s volume is 8. With mech design, making a huge bipedal robot means putting a massive amount of weight on relatively weak joints at the legs.
