Lookie what I just found! I think this is possibly one of the most farfetched ideas I have ever seen that people have spent money on. I mean they have spent like 5 years and countless amounts of money for this? Wow. Check out this site:

Yeah. They're trying to build a gigundous mechwarrior thing. Yes I said warrior; they want to put guns and armor and all on it. They expect it to be able to go something like 160 mph. It runs off some weird disk and rod system, where like a disc rotates which moves a rod, actuating the leg, etc.
And they want to arm it. And maybe put on some jumpjets. Yeah, they think that they can actually build a super duper fighter mech thingy. If they can hey, more power to them, but so far they haven't said anything about the most obvious problems, of which I will name a couple:
Balancing with only one foot on the ground
Fixing the little disc things to make it so that it can walk on non-level ground
That's all I got (for now). What do you think?
