nice suit...

[adelle0001]

nice po!

[skateryork1]

they could just get a white guy to lift the rice

[GunArts0231]

i can already see what kind of accidents would happen using this in the future...

Example:

imagine someone carrying something really heavy up some stairs. All of a sudden the suit gives out. "Oh shit, the hydraulics is lea..." squash.

2020 iron-man year

[vex95]

@Alonzx and i will be the engineer

[TheRogueMonk]

@Alonzx exactly my thought maybe even 2012 or 13 of course they will use it for destruction first like anything else

[ereignisfelder]

favorit !

[dudlete]

@h0lyRS No, it won't. I do not know how you can come to that conclusion but look at the design again. It's impossible for said scenario to occur.

[dudlete]

@h0lyRS This suit is different. It redistributes the load onto stronger parts of the body and is not designed to completely mimic a human's movements. So there are no strong rotary parts near the arms, therefore even if the suit did malfunction, his arms would not be broken. In real biomechatronic suits, each of the rotary part's range of motion is meant to match those of an average human, to ensure that no arms/legs are broken if the computer misinterprets the movements/signals.

[JUKIO01]

@h0lyRS shut up

[RoushytheGod]

now all they need to do is shell it, give it a jet pack and wear a crown and japan will finally have gundam suits...human size

[TheRogueMonk]

@RoushytheGod haha .. man it was unavoidable wasnt it .. war is at hand

ww 3 oh my gosh i hope it never happens

[SakoresDark]

wait... but the first version could lift 50 kilograms no sweat this new version has a slight problem lifting 15 kilograms

[zezasu]

If you listened, the second version was more specialized and lightweight for only

"back" lifting unlike the first version. Re watch it, and you will hear the mention that was made for the back lifting instead.

[fahed2000]

i just do wonder about the cost

also support in other parts of the body loool

[Shaunt1]

This is awesome! It's like super strength! This has a lot of potential!

[crackthecorn]

i dont need a suit to lift those things haha ..but its koo
