Boston Dynamics abandoned Handle's balancing design and reused its warehouse lessons in Stretch

Handle demonstrated wheeled balancing and pallet handling but never became a product. Stretch retained warehouse perception and box-manipulation work while switching to a stable mobile base for truck unloading. Stretch is a successor programme shaped by Handle, not its production version or rename.
