So I've been looking for an affordable way to make a powered exoskeleton.

I saw that there were a couple of threads on this, but they didn't seem to actually make much progress. I'm hoping I'll have better luck (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Here is my thinking:

I want the suit to be only slightly larger than man sized, think old school iron man (but cool looking). Because of this, I don't think I can justify using a vehicle, which leaves me with drones.
So to get in the drone, I would need to give it the mod, "Extra Entry/Exit Points" 1 Slot.
Obviously it needs 2 Mechanical arms: 4 Slots

Even if moding a drone that already walk upright, this exceeds the max modifications and there isn't even any cool stuff in the drone. The Misuhama stuff, but it is crazy expensive, and far outside of my range. Any thoughts on how to overcome this?

I was thinking maybe doing some hardware checks to get rid of the limitations on the manservant. ---> The debate on manservant mods has already gone down, so lets avoid that if we can. I'm just proposing a potential solution to the slot issue. Manservants already have walker mode and 2 arms. Adding the Entry point for 1 slot would still leave me with 3 to play with. Thoughts?

EDIT* Oh yeah, I also want to try to avoid the military armor if at all possible.
