Well, it's not quite the XS-3 walker frame I came up with for
NAGEE #7 back in 1999, but
this is pretty damn close.

I seen something like this that the military was interested in for carring heavy loads for long distances. The problem they were working out was the batteries didn't last long enough for standard military ops.

Yeah, thats even with the feedback system they added. The things actually were capable of regenerating some of their battery life just through the movement of the person wearing the exosuit, but it still wasn't enough. They just ate batteries for lunch.

If they could get the bugs worked out, one guy could lug in a M2 or Mark19 by hisself and set up a vicious one man ambush.

I saw some video of that military exoskeleton, and it was pretty impressive. I'm kind of anxious to see how it works out when they get the power problems solved.
