How many of you thought the title said "Teleportation"?

its funny that the robot's arms move a second before the guy's do. its almost like that was a que. almost like the guy is following the robot. like its a very simple routine they memorized for the guy to do based on whatever movements they could program the robot to do. i smell FRAUD.

that is called input delay; and it means that there is a delay betwen the guy moving and the robot almost like lag altough it is more complex than that

Movie Surrogates anyone?

Although I think his legs should be a little longer.

i wonder if he started doing jumping jacks what would happen?

[MoshiB9865]

Actually that only happens when they turn it on at the beginning. The robot first has to make its position match the suit wearer before commencing operation. After that, the robot always moves after the guy moves.

haha, i was disappointed a little when i re-read it

Well if there's electric signal sensors on the suit hes wearing then the robot would move first its like the HAL suit the sensors pick up the signals before our muscles do thus moves before them.
