As they are, they are less like truck chassis and more like remote control toy trucks.

They lack the adequate size, robustness, endurance and payload to be considered proper viable warfighting/logistics platforms. As I said, using ad-hoc straps is a relatively trivial issue for the development of this system, because as it stands it is barely "proper" in any sense of the word to begin with.

I should not have used only "The robot dogs". By that I meant the eventual models and sizes picked by PLA, if they do, after the evaluation and development.

I have accepted using ropes and straps as ad hoc tie downs in early stage of development.

While the robot dogs shown in use by PLA so far are not big, I wouldn't compare them to RC toys. In this size, they are already big enough for certain tasks. I think there will be a family of quadruped robots of different sizes, from dogs to mules at least. Will there be robot camels or even robot elephants? I don't know.

Am I the only one thinks that, current robot dogs is more than enough to replace snipers ?(at least some of them)
You can pack a decent FCU and a really heavy sniper rifle within 30Kg, and this thing doesn’t eat.

IMO you're not replacing the logistical tail of a sniper team. You still need someone relatively close by to control it and provide logistics, it's not like we have robot dogs that reload each other. If you just want to hit at long ranges at small arms level you can always just spam switchblade esq drones.
