      It may reassure you guys to know that the constitution of our company forbids weaponization. Sport, search and rescue, construction, forestry, just plain fun, but on dystopian colonial slaughter in the name of unsustainable resource extraction. Weā€™re good.

    Walking feels slow and inefficient. Maybe he needs to learn to walk like a dog.

    I applaud their work, but next time letā€™s see Boston Dynamics have their take at it.

      Apples and oranges. Our mechs are made for pilots. BD hardware is made to replace pilots.

    Mech suit racing already exists. Itā€™s called the IGPX

    • Furrion Exo-Bionics

      August 21, 2020 at 10:56 pm

      Thatā€™s wicked looking game, but I hate to break the news buds: itā€™s not real.

    • TheDragonaf1

      August 21, 2020 at 10:58 pm

      @Furrion Exo-Bionics itā€™s an anime, one of the best. Itā€™s deffinatly the best amoung racing anime.

    Hacksmith is building the power loader from aliens so they should totally race once its done.

    • Furrion Exo-Bionics

      August 21, 2020 at 10:53 pm

      Alas, Jamesā€™s Power Loader would not qualify as full blown mech since it doesnā€™t have legsā€¦.but we may make an exception. What sort of features would you put on the course to challenge both machines?

    If you want pilots, get real Mech pilots. Theyā€™re in every country, all age groups, and from all walks of life.
    They understand the mechanics already. They have all the enthusiasm for the project in the world, too. Find them, theyā€™re out there.

      Iā€™m so glad we dont have to deal with an IC engine + a fuel tank. The amount of maintenance done on our electric motors in 4 years of run time = zero.

    They should make the cockpit gyroscopic and make the suit capable of rolling.

    I wish I could try this. I have had dreams of this. I really believe Iā€™d be good at being a mech pilot. In these times money is out of the question. Maybe one day. Kids come first. One day Daddy will play.

      Check the main channel (Furrion Exo-Bionics). The main idea behind it is a racing mech where athletes are put to the test to push their physical mastery even further.
