Roller skating powered armor?

+0
−0

One common problem with powered armors is their limited endurance. This could be remedied with electric roller skates as an efficient and faster way of locomotion, capable of maintaining its speed even in slav squat.

Designing such skates, however, is a pain in the...
Anyways, a roller skate like that would have to meet the following criteria to be of use:

  • Enable quick recovery from, or prevent unwanted falls altogether
  • Be durable
  • Be retractable
  • Could strafe/change direction without the wearer moving the feet
  • It also has to work on all sorts of terrain (sand, rocky mountains, tall grass, snow, and mud), except for stairs
  • The weight shouldn't be a concern as the rest of the armor is Pneumatic artificial muscle, UHMWPE, and some shear thickening fluid

How can these problems be overcome?
