casekonly Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 that one is for bitches. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,15163650-13762,00.html AS the world gears up for the latest Star Wars movie, fans of the films can have their own Pod walker. Japan's Sakakibara Machinery Works has unveiled its version of a sit-in walking robot, dubbed Land Walker 2. The 3.4m, one-tonne robot walks at 1.5km/h. It is operated by four pedals in the cockpit. A monitor showing the feet area helps the driver watch their step. Air guns on each side of robot shoot a rubber ball 20-30m. The company sells it for 36 million yen ($43,500). However owners are advised that these land walkers are vulnerable to hostile Ewoks and Wookies. Check that out!! It’s an actual “mecha!!” For those of you who don’t watch anime, or specifically, mecha-themed anime, “mecha” is the term used to described robot suits worn, or operated, by characters in the anime. The thing is, as you can see, this isn’t anime–this is real life. The pic to the left was taken at this year’s World Expo (fka “The World’s Fair”) and features a Japanese woman “piloting” a walking robot. Engadget.com reported on this baby back on March 19, 2005.
