The Land Walker, robot transport Gundam style:
We’ve no idea who Sakakibara Kikai are, apart from having a vague inkling that they may have the odd screw loose here and there, but they’ve come up with a two-legged, person-carrying robot vehicle that looks like it’d be ready to audition for a live-action Gundam film at the drop of a hat. Admittedly the Land Walker doesn’t so much walk as shimmy its 3.4-metre-tall bulk around the place (looks like there are wheels under those feet), and it tops out at a less-than-threatening 1.5 km/h, but it does have the looks, and even a pair of guns (which fire squishy balls, unfortunately). They also have some video of it, well, sliding around.

J’aimerai bien comprendre pourquoi les génies qui font des robots dans le genre se rajoutent des problèmes en faisant des jambes à leurs robots. Ca me fait penser à Aralé dans Dr Slump, robot parfait mais qui est myope o_O
Heu… wow ? Ben oui quand même.
