I hope an ambulance is on scene when the thing keels over on its maiden step.

Want to see more effects of cabin fever? Do a Google search for Fox ice tower.

 

[meltdown75]

i'm picturing a twisted pile of metal and that guy is a gooey mess all mixed in.

why is it still in a wooden frame, you would hope it is at least free standing.

It's probably there to function as a ladder for the guy so he could work on the higher parts. He probably built it from the feet up, like a building.

LMAO I can just see the headline now:
"man in robot suit terrorizes downtown
taken out by little kid with a wiffle ball bat to the groin"

Heh, but I can't imagine any time soon we'll be seeing video files of this thing running around the woods.

 

[darkamulets]

That sir is a Battlemech...

 

[kingshoc]

Cool

 

[AMDZen]

That is cool.

 

[halik]

Does anybody have the link for the guy who built armor for himself in his garage, then tested his creation out by harrassing grizzlies? I think I saw something on the news about it - he had a whole body suit that could withstand a grenade blast. I think he was trying to sell his inventions to the military.

Yeah, that was cool. It showed a guy running at him and swinging a pick ax as hard as he could. Barely knocked the guy over - no damage done. However, I think people underestimate the strength of a full grown grizzly. They flip over boulders their own size to get to ground squirrels. I don't think that suit could save anyone.

When you're a nerd who doesn't get laid, there are two things you will do:

1. Build something ridiculous like a transformer like bio-machine
2. Spend money on dual big screen LCD to play computer games on
