El Sitherino Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 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* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leper Messiah Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 those things surely have only military applications, otherwise we already have them, cars i think theyre called.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astrotoy7 Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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 mtfbwya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swphreak Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Sitherino Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 you people suck. This is only early work. Just wait 5 years, they'll be much better looking.

El Sitherino Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 Originally posted by kipperthefrog what is so speacial about them? they look like go karts wheelchairs and walkers that won't fit through the doors. 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. *goes back to imagining himself in a real life gundam* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leper Messiah Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
