Why don`t ppl design mobile suits
-
the reason is simple.
bipedal robotic movement is still in it's infancy stage. -

oh you guys do know of the exoskeleton developed by berkeley right?

Japan have developed miniature robots dat can move well... It will only be a matter of time when U see LARGE mechs & mobile suits... But I wonder, where to get all da raw material? How fast can da hydraulics go? how hard is da main "skeleton" supporting all da weight for such huge machines? where get all da fundings?Originally posted by Saint Valentinian:Ive always wondered why no one has thought of designing a mobile suit, something like a Mech/Gundam style robot, operated by a person inside. Maybe seems far fetched now, but i think it would offer more mobilty and flexiblity. Haha..personally liked the Design of the Mecha in the Matrix Revolutions, with mounted Dual machine guns and all.
Just a thought~! * -
Mechs in da Battlemechs run on da main engine of "nuclear" power... how to do dat...? Mobile suits too run on dat... in fact every limbs in da mobile suits have mini engines for fastr movements... so expensive...Originally posted by ditzy:Why no mechs and mechwarriors, seems not too far away? -
Resident evil?Originally posted by Fairyland:Why not bio-engineered and massively clone a stealthy Siberian Tiger with an Mastiff?
Developed simulators with hunter killer training programs for these animals. Make them grow up with blood thirsty mindless hatred for all living things except SAF personnel with proper electronic tags. -
Very easy to get power rangers... get a leotard & a helmet, a belt & plastic sword can liao...as for da megazord, get boxes...Originally posted by ditzy:Why no mask? Why no voltron? Why no power rangers? Why? Why? Why? -
Yah... den ever time activate da light saber got polyphonic ring tone...Originally posted by kopiosatu:let's just use friggin jedis...

no, but WOW!Originally posted by sillyme:oh you guys do know of the exoskeleton developed by berkeley right? -
exoskeleton and mech-thingy for 1 person = $20million
speed = (i exaggerate) 100km/h
1 hellfire missile = (ballpark figure?) $1million
speed = damned fricken fast compared to the mech..
what do you think? -
Why nobody mention Macross VF-1? Combine F-14 and Mech warrior!
-
Speed and movement.
If they can design the robots to move as well as the ones on Matrix revolution, there will be a chance we'll see it.
Without movement, it's just some other ordinary piece or war machinery .
Cost will not be a problem, definitely. -
the problem is with the power plant.....how to power something so big??it's gonna be a juice guizzler(sic)
-
haha watch too much cartoon liao lah

If you read the Mechwarrior universe in detail, not all the mechs ran on nuclear engines. The 1st generation mechs ran on diesel engines manufactured by nissan, ford and GM, just to name a few.Originally posted by Bontakun:Mechs in da Battlemechs run on da main engine of "nuclear" power... how to do dat...?

you'd be surprised that all the suggestions you've made are already ongoing research programsOriginally posted by Accela:Just a random thought, most of the mecha we are talking involves humanoid form, why not combine abit of normal vehicle designs and insects or animals body structure? Rather than making perfect turns or human sensitive movements, it should be easier to sacrifice complexity for speed yet retain some advantages over normal machines, like ability to "jump" over objects and as fast as a racing car, for example based on a spider, should be more balanced and stable than a human with 2 legs. Or using a camera as eyes and be able to be controlled by remote, etc.
if you watch discovery channel regularly, these research are covered periodically -
too big.....the smallest nuclear plant at present is too big...nuclear batteries might be an option but they are dangerous.Some of the mechwarriors used normal gas engines but they dint really last long...sucked up too much gas....Originally posted by Parka: Nuclear...
I suggest something like a scaled down AT-AT frm starwars might be more usable.....or a 1 man battery operatored armoured battle suit much like the elemental suits in Mechwarrior...they could last maybe 24-36hrs before need a recharge? -
if mecha machines is to be fulfilled.. nanotech is the way to go. coupled with nuclear fusion tech.. and gyroscopes.

Envision a mech/mobile suit walking through our tropical forest..Originally posted by Bontakun:Japan have developed miniature robots dat can move well...

I think they are more likely to trip over the thick undergrowth before they can get anywhere...

check this out, they already have walking logging machines...Originally posted by Accela:Just a random thought, most of the mecha we are talking involves humanoid form, why not combine abit of normal vehicle designs and insects or animals body structure?

Guess one consideration will be the weakness of the limbs,
with bipeds, i guess it'll be even easier to disable the mech; just aim for the legs!

pretty cool!Originally posted by SlowPoke:check this out, they already have walking logging machines...

btw has anyone discussing this thread, instead of single manned, personal machines, thought in the direction of giant armoured walkers like the AT-AT in star wars instead? seems we are mostly focusing on the personal battlearmour suit. what about mass troop transport or heavy assault? -
Can you bio-engineered an animal (dog or monkey) to be a living battery?
Make the blood electrolytic?
Implant piezo tranducers in the muscles?
Put a radio on ........
With a monkey he can climb to line of sight too!
