    Science be Praised.


    now its just got to be even more streamlined and tech has to be developed to allow for the exoskeleton to be controlled by neural impulses. Perhaps some sort of node placed at the base of the skull by the brain stem.

    ^ yeah we did have something on the forum somewhere.... they were talking about how it was all portable and stuff and how it reminded everyone of gundam ahah
    neways... this is pretty damn awesome lol this should help all the crippled ppl in the world especially when the product gets more advance and allows ppl to actually walk without the cruches >.<
