Gigakaiju Posted March 13, 2003 Report Share Posted March 13, 2003 Though it's not in production yet, Plustech has developed a multilegged walking forestry mech for low-impact logging operations or use on steep terrain. There's even some videos of it in action at http://www.plustech.fi/Walking1.html . Shouldn't be too hard to write it up as a vehicle. With another 19 centuries or so of development i can readily imagine a top speed that's greater than a few miles an hour. -m[arcuS] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherSkip Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 I actually thought the diver suits were closer.... but hey they are alkin about minimal environmental impact, not maximum combat effectiveness. Biiiiiiiiiiiig difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkusDark Posted March 14, 2003 Report Share Posted March 14, 2003 Oooh, I like the machine. Oh, in case no one new, the lovely lifting suits that were used in Aliens I have seen (somewhere) in actual operation for the real world - replacing forklifts.
