I'm honestly not too worried they'll ever succeed.

Off topic: Does anyone have topless robot pics? For some reason I really want to see that now.

Dibs.

Anyway, even if the whole "building giant robots of war" thing doesn't pan out I figure that whatever they do come up with will be at least tangentially useful to some other field.  Even if it's just narrowing down what doesn't work.

Why did this get jailed? It certainly falls into the category of "what the fuck?" imo.

Overzealous staffer; non-story. Split.

Odds of the Department of Defense opening a file on this activity?

Well, the US Army has its own power armor in the works. Not Giant Mecha scale obviously...

And really, do we have the kinds of materials that are cheap enough to mass produce literally walking tanks? Building a 20 foot walking (and not necessarily bipedal) robot that's mobile enough to justify development would need some lightweight construction, no? Even if you built the whole thing out of titanium, I'm not sure that would work.

There are some youtube videos of a gas-electric robot with four legs... thing looks like an animal. During one video it walks out over some ice and compensates, maintaining an upright position spectacularly (and quite creepily). At one point someone kicks it and it stumbles for a moment and recovers.

Totally picturing these things with a wounded soldier strapped to their backs, marching through the woods toward medical beacons...

I'll find a link tomorrow and post it.

I was totally going to post a page out of Gyo in response to that, but after looking back through it I decided, um, nah.

And holy crap is that a Metal Gear?

Bigdog triggers some sort of primal "MUST DESTROY WITH BLUNT OBJECT" reaction with me.
