LAND WALKER: A REAL-LIFE BI-PEDAL MECHA: Video #2

'LAND WALKER' (Real-Life Bi-Pedal Mecha) by 'P.A. Technology' & 'Sakakibara Kikai Co. & Ltd.' This wonder of modern robotics comes to us from Japan.

In this second video, we see the Land Walker pilot firing off some rubber projectiles, from the two gun turrets, each mounted on both sides of the Land Walker.

The target board has a familiar, humourous image, which may be recognizable to video game fans (it kinda looks like a pic of one of the aliens form the classic 'Space Invaders' arcade game, LOL!).

This second video of the Land Walker actually has it's own original audio to it, so I didn't need to do any editing for this entry, unlike the first video.

i would love to see the plans on this. are they available???

@Lostsenshi:

I honestly don't know.

Check the Text Information in the Description Box, underneath/next to this video. I post some Web-Links in there.

Also, check Wiki-Pedia, or Google to see what info you can come up with.

Yay walking trashcan! Go small first then make it bigger how are you going to make a vehicle that size when they can barely make a 3 foot tall 200lb bot-boy walk up stairs. And one so stiff with limited movement, a stupid waste of money. They haven't even developed powering systems for such complex mechanisms they are just slapping an engine(or battery) on a box and attaching the drive train(or battery powered mechanism) to gear system. An insult to militant engineering but a very cool project.*

@MEPHISTOPHELESw:

You make some valid points, but hey: when it comes to making walking/rolling/sliding mechs like this one, the developers have to try & start somewhere, right?

[Lostsenshi]

Amazing what you can create with some imagination. awesome.

[VideoQuestEx]

@Lostsenshi:

Very true, very true!

I dont care if a hummer is more efficient, or a shopping cart more durable, its a friggin walker, and thats win right there

[VideoQuestEx]

@AnotherGaisle:

Tanks already exist. They have for many decades now.

The makers of Land Walker were clearly going for more imaginative, creativity, more than any practical application, when they made this machine.

@MEPHISTOPHELESw This isnt military any thing. It was not meant to be. They are using pneumatic cannons to shoot at a picture of a "Space Invader" look alike cut out for god sake. Guess you had nothing better to do than rip on people who have talent and imagination eh? Have you ever built any thing? Ever have an original thought of your own? " engine(or battery) on a box and attaching the drive train(or battery powered mechanism) to gear system" WOW you must be an engineer. ;oP

[Neosaigo]

The problem is it will still lose to tanks and RPG. LOL

Bipedal design only works if it offer the same amount of mobility as a person if not more. Other wise it is a walking target.

@MEPHISTOPHELESw Make a man fit in a 3 foot tall bot-boy and then you have a point. I think the engineers and investors in that project value their money and time enough to know what they are getting into.

[MEPHISTOPHELESw]

@VideoQuestEx right

[MEPHISTOPHELESw]

@VideoQuestEx right.
