Every field in the schema

3 of 33 fields stated

Imperial figures are our own conversion unless the manufacturer states an imperial figure itself. The source letter always belongs to the metric figure — a conversion has no source of its own.

The letter points to the source at the foot of the page. Fields without a figure are dashed: the manufacturer does not state them — that is not the same as zero, and not the same as no.

Notes

  • A hydraulic mountain-transport quadruped ('Big Dog') from China North Vehicle Research Institute, part of NORINCO; won its category at China's 'Crossing Obstacles' challenges in 2016 and 2018.
  • Competition coverage describes its legs as having more joints and force feedback than a rival platform, making them more flexible and stable.
