Some cool original mecha designs here. I love the DULICSE. Too bad it's a garage kit that is 15000 yen. I want it badly!

Some japanese model con... interesting pics (japanese type nudity warning on some). There are several pages so look for the page links. The Gundam Fix Figuration kits looks kinda cool.

HOLY CRAP

this is truly impressive

the last time i saw any videos on japanese robots they were still overcoming the hurdle of getting a robot to walk down steps


this shit is amazing--its really exciting and a bit scary

i cant help but think of animatrix second renaissance and T3 etcetc

[MrSmith]

looks useful. time to rummage through more links!
thanks.

wow these are cool,
I'm wondering what the other nations, besides Japan are doing with their robotics...

oh yeah, watching those robots dance around together reminds me of the starwars droids moving in unison

[thomasaurus]

trippy music in the videos!

[BluePencilArtist]

Man, I hate to see price tag of that dancing robot. They are pretty cool..............

[gekitsu]

thanks for sharing prom.

certainly, that was very interesting stuff. all too pricey, though :(

[spiraleye]

Whoa, those DULICSE and other models are way cool. Very original in their designs, I think. ISn't 15000 yen something like $150? Oh, wait, you're out of work right now, aren't you, prom?

Now THAT amazes me more than anything!

[Prometheus|ANJ]

Yeah aren't they supercool... I keep asking myself where we'll be in 50 years when I'm old, close to dead. If we ever develop good AI something neat or horrible is gonna happen I'm sure.

I divide Yen with 100 to get $USD. Not accurate but it gives a hint about the price. Garage kits are often more expensive, about 5-10 times or so.

Spiral> I'm unemployed if that's what you mean. I do commissioned work though.
