I prefer the mech suit from district 9, although this is real so kudos.

I hope the military is watching. We can send these to Afghanistan instead. Take ‘em out!

I liked the demo quite a bit, and yes was kinda shocked when it shot it’s handler too.

However the Robot Chicken-esque failure cascade at the end made it all okay at the end.

Real men wear pink!

That’s why the robot doesn’t waste ammo shooting things that aren’t pink. Efficiency, you know!

Does that bot seem homophobic to you?

@Rpeach, I dont think that it is fake. You are seeing the ricochet from missed pellets. I saw it too. Sometimes the bot misses and the pellets go off at a 45 degree angle away from the target, not towards it.

Adjust your settings RPeach, the one that looked like it came from above was ricocheting from the target.

Am I the only one to notice that this is fake? Look very carefully at the video and you will see several frames where the pellet comes from a high downward tragectery from behind the robot. Someone off camera was popping the target with an airsoft gun…….lame!

these are good for testing the targeting system, but id perfer something more along the lines of “code geas” as far as the controls.

were they have a pilot inside the mechwarriors.

like a car with a key to power on.
and like a pc with a Password to initialize its actions.

a terminal and several other remotes inside as well.
