"it's about as nimble as a mack truck ..... you could just blow away any building or whatever that got in your way" - deunan
The leg movement will have to be controled with chains or toothed belts if you have money. belts have the advantage of
being able to walk trought water with out needing a regreasing on the other side, but chains it is for me there smaller and
i am used to dealing with them (tip ALLways use technology that you know when your creating some radical that's never been
done before) using a solid control method like chains provides the best feedback there sholud be five steering racks needed
to control typical leg movement remember that the steering racks go in both directions so they can do the job of two
muscles. the two racks that are responsible for the entires legs movement in out and back and forth need to be set at
angles to each other so that the whole leg can twist when both racks are used at the same time.The arms need a totaly different movement system because the is no direct route for chains or belts. unless your mad. cables only answer, cheap(theres that word again anyone care to count it?) flexible, only problem is the fact that they cannot take much stress trough them if the feed back is great, this is a problem if you like punching things the shock would be too much this is why it's important to get the center of gravity right cos all hand to hand fightin' will be round house kicks and jumping up and down on things. Lifting things that are within the suits limits will be no problem and neither will holding a big gun.
