  2. I would take inspiration from this to cosplay one day, but lets just say the design process might take awhile. Or should I come up with design specs and have someone bring it to life… hmm.

    All joking aside, I love it. I really am thankful for people sharing this kind of thing on youtube.

  7. I could imagine this robot suit evolve into something really usable in combat situation, like bullet proof armor plates, real weapons and missiles. Next evolution of combat exoskeleton is near! Woohoo!
