They are expsinve and lack the ability to make the best decisions in combat. Speaking from someone who has seen military combat and training first hand the robots are not at the level where they would replace soldiers. If your in say maybe 2020ish you might be able to see a few in special and isoslated events but they would not be wide spread. This is my opinion and experiences
Ok, I agree. Maybe I need some RP mentor advice as well...?
Those types of robots replacing the common soldier will most definitely not fit into any sort of Modern Tech playing field. I would be hesitant to say it would fit into a PMT playing field either. The truth of the matter is that those robots are too clunky, lack speed, agility and mobility to function as regular humans do. Alongside that, they are not optimized for combat and can easily be damaged and are incredibly fragile in their current construction. That, alongside their high costs and maintenance (instead of getting sick once in a while these things could have software and hardware malfunctions constantly), it would be exponentially more expensive for a country to develop, test, field, and maintain an army of these robots than it would to use humans.
Ultimately, bipedal robots are not ready for the modern battlefield, and I would suggest going an alternative route along the Future Soldier ideology, which is to optimize human soldiers with more technology to allow them to do their jobs better and more efficiently.
