Are mechs better than tanks?

If we compared a mech and a tank on open ground, it is likely that the tank could be outperform the mech in speed and ability to deliver rounds on target. However, if the mech ran to dense forest to escape the charge of tanks, the mecha could then have the advantage, due to the woods stopping the tanks if dense enough.

Are tanks superior to mechs?

Why don't we use mechs?

Motors at each joint might be a way around it, but this solution would require heavy duty motors to support the rest of the body. These motors are comparatively heavy, which would mean there would be a significant amount weight focused at the joints, making the mech that much harder to balance.

What are the advantages of mech?

Mechanical advantages allows humans to perform tasks much easier in terms of the force they need to apply, but must always obey the conservation of energy. Mechanical advantage is a measure of the ratio of output force to input force in a system, used to analyze the forces in simple machines like levers and pulleys.

Are spider mechs practical?

For those of you wondering, a spider mecha is one that is very low to the ground and has four or more legs. I'd imagine these would be far more practical than bipedal mecha, as these are lower, probably faster, and more agile than bipeds.

How much would a real Gundam cost?

The Japanese Science Portal has specced out and priced a giant mecha robot, the Gundam. It takes a certain mind to apply a mundane spreadsheet to something as out-and-out awesome as an 18 meter tall robot, but amongst the numbers are some great dream components.

How much would a mech cost?

Used robot prices can range between an estimated $25,000 and $40,000, and systems with application components cost between $50,000 and $75,000.
