True, although as a "slider" it seems to work pretty well. I'm assuming there
are either wheels or some sort of treads in the feet. With the hips so wide, it
appears to have a modicum of stability, although the movement does seem to make
the entire structure wobble front to back with each step.
It is fairly impressive to watch it move, though.
