Being honest here, one of my friends did tell about this news that you could buy a large robot mean you could control it like one of those Gundam anime. He said that you can customize it as you wish but of course you have to ordered it from Japan and the price is expensive (well abit expensive in my country) but yet it is not too expensive in dollar, which is still worth it if you are one of those huge robot fan.
Here is the story Japanese business called the 'Sakakibtara Kikai' presented the new product that is the coolest toy for kids which is the walker robot or the 'Cyclops'. Its height is round 6 feet tall (so imagined a ), move in full range and kids able to control the robot's arms and walk in any direction. This project is like the inspire for the other company called 'Landwalker', goal is to create 2-legged walker transport but not that much height compare to the one that Sakakibara Kikai built, this company created a followup project which is a robot about 11 foot and might equipped air cannon with nerf balls (Lets hope that they don't equipped missiles in the future), also it run on gasoline power while on the other side Cyclops run by battery.
So my thoughts? Well Japanese people are very creative as ever (have to give them credit about video games there) but never thought that they will the first to create a huge robot toy for kids. Well done indeed...But too bad I am not that big fan of robot or Gundam but the thought of having robots as transport instead of cars, it's gonna be awesome and abit scary at the same time. Whatever gonna happened in the future let's hope for only one thing, that's no epic robots war at least.
