The problem with these real life LARP mecha projects is that they're always insanely underpowered. If you're gonna drop a mil to build one, why not invest 30-60k in a helicopter gas turbine for a powerplant?';

Why the fuck is the cockpit so big? Im no mechanical or electrical engineer but it feels like its taking up too much space and weight.';

'>>22430406
Needs to be big enough so the pilot can fit without being claustrophobic, then make it larger to fit all the controls and wiring, then make it bigger to include a roll cage or have some kind of some structural strength

how big do you think it should be?';

'>>22430468

More fighter jet cockpit size, but then I wonder why that wouldn't work.';

'>>22430406
Cockpits are hollow. Almost a third of a car's total mass is the engine block -- even the frames and seats are like this.';

'>>22430496
>More fighter jet cockpit size
But that IS more or less fighter cockpit size

F-16 is a small jet by the way, most are bigger';

'>>22430406
it's actually for visibility. They're trying to give it car-like visibility and interior comfort. I think they should go for small cockpit and either monitor or VR visuals since it's supposed to go to a niche market, but it's clearly a toy project.
We need to wait for a proper AI-assisted project at this point, to see how far real life mecha can go.

>In the video taken in April 2015, Yang slaps a former staffer's head several times and curses the man in front of other workers in the office of WeDisk, an online file-sharing site Yang owns. He orders the man to kneel down in apology, but hits him because he thought the apology was not sincere enough. Yang assaulted the man because the worker left comments critical of him on a bulletin board of the company's website after he left the firm.

I'm guessing it's because there are fewer moving parts.';

'>>22437023
My guess is that those insane Russians decided "why not?" since they also tried weird stuff like the screw tanks.

At least mechanically it seems simpler than a tracked system since all you need is a large motor system with a ton of torque. Not as much maintenance as you would have dealing with suspension, wheels, and a linked track. It's literally just a giant metal foot pad that lifts up and down, shuffling the machine. And since it's an excavator that spends most of its time in one spot, it doesn't really need to move around all that often or get anywhere in a hurry. The downside is of course the slow speed, the awkward up and down movement, and steering might be weird. Not a design that prioritizes operator comfort.';

'>>22435997
As a Bong, the thought of one of these with AI intrigues and horrifies me. On the one hand, living robot. On the other hand, drunken footy hooligans in Accident and Emergency after a game will think twice about insulting the nurse bot when her boyfriend is this fucker.

>THAT monster glaring at you from the left is the biggest robot ever made. It weighs 170,000 pounds in its double-thick rubber treads. It can punch its claw hand through a concrete wall or gently stretch stainless-steel arms to pluck an egg off the top of a house.
There's a man inside. Safe within the lead-and-steel cab, he can work where no unarmored man could live -in the deadly radiation that atomic energy the most fearsome as well as the most promising invention of the century.
He could roll right up to the atomic engine of a space rocket and delicately maneuvering those 16-foot arms, make adjustments. Or he could replace a broken part in the atomic boiler of a power plant. Or haul the fatally hot debris of a nuclear accident away to the burying ground. If H-bombs struck he could dash into the destruction zone to rescue injured people and scrape away the worst of the fallout dust.';
