Were the others not fully electric!?!?! Like obviously they were but the title makes it sound like they built steampunk robots.
The old atlas had hydraulics, this one only electric actuators. Thats probably what they meant.
That makes a lot of sense, actually. I also saw "fully electric" and immediately thought of electric/hybrid/ICE cars, and my brain went straight to "hold up, did I miss the fully functional diesel-powered humanoid robot?"
I think it was gasoline, not diesel, but there was this.
Jesus Christ well I'm glad they moved on from that design.
