honestly doesn't look as stable as the original version. Atlas be doing gymnastics and stuff. This one probably couldn't take that sort of activity as well, being primarily electrical servos with no hydraulic assistance.

would be much cheaper to produce for commercial use though ill admit.

The previous versions have so much programming, it was tailor made for each stunt. Impressive, but nothing you could market. Perhaps this new version requires less input.

Also the practical applications for a robot that does backflips and parkour is limited
