road beats feet, and car beats road, and ice beats road and car.
The problem is that ice and wheels dont cooperate, but feet have been around longer, they know better, a couple of feet can push a car out of a blinch faster than fast-wheels can.
So why not have cars with feet in the trunk? at least
4 of them, and make some of them fat, pop em' back when you're done.

Good on a low-rider. It could hop. |

Feet aren't always better than tires. Ever tried walking on a sheet of ice? I do 3 times a day with my dog, and unless there's a layer of snow covering the ice, you don't get any traction. |
|
| |
[21 Quest] Surely you get some traction? Otherwise it would not be so much a walk as a long, even-speeded slide to the other side? |
|
| |
[21Q], recommend you replace your dog's legs with wheels. To do otherwise is cruel. |
|
| |
Dogs have long nails that dig into the ice somewhat. I'm not suggesting that feet are less effective than tires, just that they're not always more effective. |
|
| |
I still know not what a "blinch" is. (-) |
|
| |
That's ok then, [bobof] is suggesting that they're not always on. |

<Obligatory WIFRT - I thought it was about a car with holes in the floorboard like the Flintstones.> |
|
| |
I'm reading blinch as "a temporary situation whereby a vehicle is no longer able to continue on a selected path due to adverse road conditions". |
|
| |
There seems to be a lack of explanation as to exactly how these feet will solve the blinch. Do you toss them under the wheels for traction? Do they work like a jack and lift the car? Do they run around quickly, creating heat which melts the ice that caused the blinch? Do they repeatedly kick bystanders in the shins until they assist you in unblinching your car? More info, please bobof! |
