Remember from Artstation.. Thank you for posting Shin_getter.
 
Future exoskeletons may allow dismounts to dismount and run walk push when vehicle negotiates significant obstacles.
FIFY...

An early BAE FPV concept, the Gorilla:

That quad configuration would also allow it to cross short bridges not rated for the full weight of the vehicle. Just extend one wheel across the bridge and plant it on the far bank. Roll the second wheel across the bridge. Roll the third wheel across the bridge. Finally roll the fourth wheel across the bridge. None of those individual wheels would be heavy enough to break the bridge.

This chassis would also be handy for stepping up over obstacles (e.g. sea wall at Dieppe, France).

Map created with open-source QGIS using data for 1.35 million streams from 1:250000 scale European Environment Agency Catchments and Rivers Network System spatial vector datasets. Rivers are weighted according to Strahler hierarchies: from first-order streams to major rivers into which thousands of smaller streams flow.
