About the same as the traction a conventional bulldozer manages, which at low speed is probably 50-75% of its weight depending on the surface type. > > * Might there be dedicated vehicles with many cyberswarm hives, > or will each vehicle have a few? Probably neither one; cyberswarm hives will be cargo and normally just fitted into a transport vehicle, armored if appropriate. > > * What is TL12+ mine clearance? What are TL12+ minefields? Fundamentally, a 'mine' is a single-shot sensor-triggered weapon; they are dependent on a target coming very close because TL 7- sensors can't effectively hit beyond very close range, and at TL 8 the sensors are expensive. TL 9+ 'mines' are probably single-shot robotic missile launchers. > > * Would engineering be a role where bipedal mecha might be > justified? Engineering is a role where arms are justified. If contragravity is available, legs are pretty much never a good plan.
