Man, I want one of these… heh. A fellow in Anchorage has designed and built his own Mech suit, powered by an engine and hydraulics.
In the back of Carlos Owens’ southern Alaska yard, an 18-foot-tall steel robot is taking shape in the dim light of the winter afternoons.
The 26-year-old Owens is an Anchorage-area steelworker by day. In his own time, he’s hoping to become the creator of a true “mecha“–not a robot, exactly, but a gigantic exoskeleton that can transform its wearer’s motions into eight-foot strides and the devastating sweep of a steel fist.
So how long til I can get it on ebay and get to work with the smashing and crushing things? :-)
i really enjoy pie and g-unit.!! damn straight…fo sheezie!!
Wow, I think this is just awsome, I can’t wait to be able to see one of these going up and down the streets, but you just know somehow that the governments are gunna want these for war… do you know if there are any pictures?
