Land Walker

The design looks great, but the way that thing moves just cracks me up. It's ssssooooo ssslloooowww...
 
I really love the dog barking (I hope at the Land Walker) in the second video. That really brings the whole thing home.

Not only is it slow, but all the vibrations makes it look like it is about to fall over. I wonder how badly the pilot is shaken around in it.
 
Its design is great and the fact that it CAN move is awesome. Too bad its slow and rickety, but its definitely a start.

I expect to fight one in Fallout 3 perhaps.

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

The thing doesn't *walk*, for chrissake. It skates on its legs, shaking to and fro like a Polish drunkard having a seizure on ice.

Making anything come close to bipedal movement for a thing that size is going to be a major bitch in robotics engineering, especially implementing a gyroscope or some other kind of balance device to the point it's perfectly tuned with leg movement and weight.
There's also going to be the problem of lifting and moving the several-ton legs, continuously, and finding a power source to do so.
 
You see all kinds in tha south-central Warsaw projects, wigga.
