A few items of interest starting with this one before we continue with the coverage of the otaku events of late.

Are you fed up of walking like a boring human and would rather walk chicken style like a coolsome Scout Walker (tm)?
Well be fed up no more thanks to Kz Robot Laboratories Robot Suit Power Pedal.

Not only does the Power Pedal allow you to walk like a Scout Walker, it lets you kick your friends harder by enhancing your strength by seven times. Kz laboratories plan to make this device available to the elderly and also for disaster rescue services too. No price available yet but those who are interested will have to wait until the year 2015.

Folks who have Real Player installed can watch a video of a cute reporter using the Power Pedal.
News from WBS.

If you are interested in reading about life in Japan, seeing photos taken daily around Tokyo, like Japanese subculture (anime, manga, figures, Dollfies) then you may want to start delving into the Japan or Figure categories for a start or have a gander at all photo articles.

If you don't have much time now, maybe subscribe to the RSS Feed, Twitter Feed or join the other readers in the FaceBook Page.
Alternatively, you may want to read more about the site.
If you are a regular reader then this message will probably annoy you each time - hide it forever.

It would have been better if walking was fully automatized.
Imagine that if it was changed slightly, it could become a great replacement for wheelchairs (battery and solar-powered FTW).

Otherwise than that, add weapons to it and you get the skeleton of a Magitek Armor (Final Fantasy VI anyone?), Wanzer (what about Front Mission?) or Gundam and other mecha.

Once again, science at a critical point which branches to good or evil purposes.
