The ones with wheels are going to trip over everything. The moment a company has enough functional use cases for one of these that it's not limited to one floor of your house, that version will be bipedal and not trip.
By bunch up in a ball I just mean assume the fetal position when powered off, not wheels. They wouldn't have to take up more space in house than a large piece of travel luggage on a shelf.
Honestly I think it would be pretty cool to have a giant spider robot climb up to a ceiling corner and perch there. Also horrifying. :)
I like your idea. I think anything like this that can move itself can be stored up high, too.
