Presumably by size. What's the fasted/best, bipedal, robot weighing roughly 170 pounds that can operate for 90 minutes?

What's the intermediate step for this? What's the record for a bipedal 100m dash? For one big enough to meaningfully kick a soccer ball (even if it can't currently)? What's the 100m dash record for a robot that can also run 7+ miles over 90 minutes?

I feel like we're close -- but we're not really close. We're close on individual qualifications, but not combining them. We may genuinely be there with the control systems and computing if we had a performant robot.
