I’ve heard building mechas is really difficult but there is no problem in building small humanoid robots (Boston Dynamics). So can’t we just upscale them and make mechas this way?

It is a mistake to think we have “no problem” building those kinds of robots. Boston Dynamics makes cool stuff, but they have been at it a while and there is a reason we are don’t see their robots running around everywhere. They have a very limited battery life, and right now, they are so expensive you are better off with a traditional robot or even just hiring a guy to follow you around and do stuff.
Even if we had the technology for mecha (we don’t) they question would be, the question would be, what is a more effective military option, one mecha or six fighter jets and twenty tanks?
