Gentlemen......BEHOLD!

I GIVE YOU....TACO ISLAND

[Meph]

So Meph how long till you get one and toss a red cape on it

Oh..... about a week. Gotta get some funds to buy the prototype. For this a red curtain will probably be big enough.

[Slimm Jimm]

i want to put an asimo at the controls

[Meph]

I want to put this guy at the controls...





(Posted that pic over at the Pumper's Pandemonium 2 thread in the Scenario Forum. I just think it's hilarious, gotta share it)

WOW! Gentel Men behold I have lost weight! Hey Hey Looking good! Yes all sugars gone...manually!

[spyder luver]

SWEET!!!!!! just think of that in urban fields or in scenario that would be awsome if it shot paintballs *still had the cannon to take out tanks or clear out buildings then had like 2 tippmann gatling guns on the other arm

think of it froma military point. this is the beging of mech worriors. for example, back in the day it was a muskey then some 150 yrs later we now got full auto machine guns. this is just a start.

No thats just crazy Asians making an oversized POS mech toy. It looks cool but looks very poorly built. It looks like it just rolls it's feet foward, not really walking at all. Show me something on that scale that can do some bipedal walking then I'd be impressed (even though putting wheels and a motor on something is a million times more practical, safe, and cheap).

[wareagle]

wow cool

[Meph]

I'd assume that with enough time and R&D that they can get it working that way.

You have to start somewhere. Currently companies are making animatronic devices for movies and such, or whatever purpose, in shapes of animals. One notibally I remember seeing was an ostrich. They had it with wires for when it fell down, but it could run in circles for a while without the need of the support.

They are getting there, it'll just be a matter of time.

Ok I think it would be more practical to just ride your bicycle around the field

[HarrysSon]

at the sight of that thing, I thought it would shoot fast... but its really awesome

[master_alexander]

you cant drive it but I tell you what, I will let you ride on my shoulder

well since jimmybeam is on one shoulder, can i ride on the other?

Again, just consider this a first step. Within the last 20 years even we've seen developement of electronically controlled prostetic limbs, there's a leg that can jump around and get pushed and maintain its balance (I know, I saw it on NOVA ). Animatronics have gotten better, hell HONDA has a set of robots that can do all kinds of stuff, slowly granted, including play soccer (never mind that they look like moon-men).

The modern mobile artillery piece wasn't invented overnight and neither was the Saturn V rocket.
