Archer Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Dear God, it looks like a VOTOMs. I wonder how much it will cost, as well as how refined the final product will be. The fact that they are making this available for public purchase raises my eye a little, especially since it looks like it has mini weapons attached and uses property of other companies such as Microsoft and Apple. Either way, it is rediculously cool, and is putting us all a step closer to our dreams of piloting a real robot. Also, looks like the gov. will need to install new vehicle regulations regarding robots as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetarB Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Yes, it looks like a cross between VOTOMS and the AMP suit from Avatar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Very cool. Wonder what's the price like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archer Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I presume the price will be around $40k to $50k. Maybe higher. I can't see anything lower than that. So I guess what I am saying is ask yourself this: Do you want a) A boatload of toys b) A BMW 325i c) Giant Robot thing I still think I'd pick option "c" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myk Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Well, instead of a 'mech I wish they or someone else would develop the first skin-job type of Cylon. I would love to wake up to my very own copy of Ariel Rebel or Scarlett 'Jo... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddsun1 Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) This one brings the old Dougram designs to mind... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CgBNjdwYdvE I suspect companies like John Deere et. al. have got a leg up on the competition when it comes to robotics, but un-sexy commercial sectors like the logging industry means this stuff goes largely ignored(?) ed: what was really cool was the vids on the slaved hand controls, about 3/4 down the pg at that above link. pretty fascinating--although the [control] response delays were pretty long...
