Thanks for all the love everyone. After nearly 5 years of working in the trenches full time on Prosthesis it's a blessing to see all the love and support. Makes a huge difference, stoke levels for the crew have been through the roof in the days leading up to the release of the campaign and this video. Can't wait to see where we all take this.

This thing is so cool! I cant wait for these to become a sport, and i know they will.

[@iamaduckquack]

Eh, not fussed about the sport but it could be incredibly useful if refined to have usable arms. They'd be invaluable for building sites etc

[@exosapientech]

The best thing about a mech is that it can be all these things. You'll both get what you want if we have our way.

[@CanadianPrepper]

Needs a gyro cockpit so you arent moving all around the place

[@RusselledJimmy]

with due time. if this picks up, I can see many other applications for the suit. that will lead to more R&D for better cockpit, better controls, better everything.

[@exosapientech]

We do already have 3-DOF pilot suspension. It is on about the 5th iteration and improving every time. If you have too much isolation you lose the ability to feel the motion of the mech and it inhibits pilot connection, so there is a sweet spot.

[@EVAUnit4A]

@@exosapientech ...Which, if I remember correctly, was the reason why Ranger pilots needed to be _mentally_ connected to the Jaegers in the _Pacific Rim_ movies- they needed tactile sensors on the outside to be able to orient themselves with where the body and limbs were. It would also allow the pilots to be able to judge where pressure and damage was being applied. The downside, however, was the Jaegers were so damn big by necessity that the sensory input would easily overwhelm the lone pilot, and so they needed to share the neural workload between two pilots, hence the required mind-bridging experience called "drifting".

[@Chakravarti2911]

If in the future, they do build a gyro cockpit, I will switch off the gyroscopic sensor because it should feel like you are using a robot, a giant robot!

That is the magic place. I've been developing the tech and practicing the skills for 3.5 years and I keep getting inspired to persevere by those moments of "oneness" with the mech. Bringing on more pilots and building an enthusiastic audience to drive mech development will only accelerate our progress towards higher performance!

2020: Nothing good will come out of this ye... Oh actually...

[@Thyalwaysseek]

Yes because it's not like this tech is going to end up weaponized and eventually used against us.

[@cainen6355]

@@Thyalwaysseek You would have to just not advance in technology at all for something to not be weaponized. Technology is always a double edged sword. You can either create harm or joy with it and there are always people who will use it in one or the other way. That is unavoidable. War is not born from technology, it is born from fear and hatred. chimpanzees have wars too and they don't need a mech for it. Besides that I don't see how a clunky four legged mech that isn't even self operating would be a big advancement to the military. It is probably not faster than a tank and their is no reason it will be in the near future, it is more vulnerable and it can't shoot any more accurate than a tank would so it's basically useless for military usage.

[@Thyalwaysseek]

@@cainen6355 This technology is born of war, you would have to be very gullible and naive to believe otherwise.

[@cainen6355]

@@Thyalwaysseek Then please, explain to me how this specific technology is any more dangerous than for example a microwave.

[@exosapientech]

@@cainen6355 Dude, you are SO on point! Thank you for articulating that so well. I'm pleased to add that, even if this technology and the theatre of war changes in such a way that an expensive, fussy, cutting edge sports machine that takes months of training to master does somehow become the weapon platform of choice, it is enshrined in our corporate constitution that we will not weaponize the tech, nor knowingly sell the tech to anyone wishing to weaponize it. Stay tuned for our 2021 calendar. I think you'll like it.

Can't be looking at your feet when you're walking. You've gotta look ahead to where you want to go. It also isn't hard to determine which leg is which because they match your movements 1:1.
