So why haven't wheechair manufacturers/designers produced a chair that can do steps yet? Even the Daleks can do steps now.

They have. Dean Kamen, the guy behind the Segway, first came up with this

But it's like $20,000, I think.

Yeah, that one does everything though. Whole flights of staps and raises the user right up to regular eyelevel. Just adding a single step capability would surely be cheaper and make a huge difference. Some retracting wheels and a short hydraulic lift? Something like that.

That guy is a fucking genuis. He also invented the insulin pump (which allows people with Type I diabetes, especially kids, to only have to get a needle once every 2-3 days instead of 4 times a day) and a vastly improved dialysis machine as well.

Ibots are not covered, VERY expensive and are have limited availability.
Shame, they are SUPER-COOL!
They will also stand you up and are amazingly stable.
I have seen a video of a guy shooting a shotgun in the standing mode on two wheels.

Thread necromancy moment... holy shit, why did I read this?

The funniest thing about RKZ's hot-dog-restaurant rampage, besides the hypocrisy, was that he seemed unaware that the space would almost certainly have been leased by the restaurant, and the step leading to the door would not have been theirs to modify.

I worked in a coffee shop that was almost impossible for wheelchairs to enter because of a column outside the door, and the building owners would not let us modify it, as the building facade and entry was not part of our lease... only the shop space itself. So picking on the hot dog shop for non-compliance is just retarded.

Had a similar issue at a cafe I worked at. There was only one wheelchair ramp, and it was waaaaay on the other side of the building. We had regular customers, one wheelchair bound, who would complain to the manager everytime. Again and again the managers had to tell them that they didn't own the building and had no control over that issue, and that they would notify the building management/owners, but that was all they could do. This was almost a weekly conversation, extremely annoying when we're busy as hell and they already know that the issue is not our fault.
