MOBILE SUITS!! *hyperventilates*

[El Sitherino]

clickage

now if only they came with some beam sabers and a damn rail gun. *wants the i-foot cuz it looks like a teddy-bear'd at-st*

 

Now to get that thing hooked up with some weaponry, I could rule the world and make you all my slaves... or something.

[jon_hill987]

do you think the silvery suits are compulsary?

 

anyway the ifoot is the one, looks cool.

[El Sitherino]

dunno. I heard the director of the show over-dosed on crack once. But so far that rumour hasn't been exactly proven. *shrugs*

 

anyway, this brings us one step closer to gundams !

... so who wants to buy me the i-foot?

 

*goes to attach shotguns and assualt rifles to the arms*

[Leper Messiah]

those things surely have only military applications, otherwise we already have them, cars i think theyre called....

[Astrotoy7]

surely I cant be the only one who thinks those things are freakin stupid... Toyota obviously has invested well in some young concept designers whose key inspirations are smack and anime, which also explains sithy's fascination with these ridiculous contraptions

a militar vehicle which would move with 2 legs wouldnt be much effective

[Alegis]

Are you crazy?

Put some lazers and homing rockets in those things and everyone would want at least one!

[weiderudare]

whats the use of one anyway? Give me a speederbike rather..

[IG-64]

Hmm, now how to fit it throught the door

thats what i said, these things have no application except in the military

[swphreak]

Ninja is right, that would be useless for military applications. A Tank could just drive right over it.

 

As for its use. If you read the article, it said the i-foot could help disabled people walk around and up stairs and stuff.

you people suck. This is only early work. Just wait 5 years, they'll be much better looking. You should all feel ashamed. except those of you that recognized this is a step toward something great.

[kipperthefrog]

what is so speacial about them? they look like go karts wheelchairs and walkers that won't fit through the doors.

[jebbers]

if it were to be used for the military, it would be great for scouts...zip up and scope around round...zip back and tell everyone....

this is a break through in science. Previously mechanics trying to mimic biological leg structures could barely support their own weight. these can obviously support their own weight and that of a grown adult. In years this will bring way to smaller, more compact, yet more versatile structures. Possibly even to robotic limbs to replace those lost in accidents. This has incredible possibilities, and they go in all different directions.

[Leper Messiah]

yeah just think, you wont have to walk anywhere, what a great advancement for the human race that would be

 

i agree there are medical possibilities but as a widespread transportation device? i think ill stick with a car or my own perfectly good legs

[ET Warrior]

You seem to be forgetting that there ARE in fact people out there who dont' HAVE perfectly good legs.

 

 

Sometimes it's hard for people to see outside the realm of themselves

You don't think that people without functioning legs are widespread or need transportation?

It is still too big to go through doors. unless they make it smaller it has no practical use yet. good progress though;)

 

I hope they DO make mechanical arms and legs to replace them in acdents.

 

make them look real too.

A tank could also just drive right over a platoon of soldiers...
