UltraAlt Posted September 6 Share Posted September 6 Meet ARCHAX, the human-piloted robot https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/backstories/2702/ Article streamlined :: Tsubame Industries has created ARCHAX. It currently plans to sell five units for roughly 400 million yen each. ARCHAX stands an imposing 4.5 meters tall and weighs a hefty 3.5 tons. The cockpit is located in its chest. Nine cameras attached to ARCHAX's exterior transmit live images to cockpit monitors, allowing the pilot to navigate. Two joysticks control ARCHAX's arms and hands, which have articulating fingers. In robot mode, ARCHAX stands up and can travel at 2 kilometers per hour. In vehicle mode, it crouches down and can hit a top speed of 10 kilometers per hour. The frame is built by an ironworks firm that makes parts for heavy construction machinery. The exterior is made of the same fiber-reinforced plastics used in F1 cars. If someone posts a reply quoting me and I don't reply, they are most probably on ignore. Some of them even know that I have them on ignore. But that won't stop some of them from bullying and harassing people, because some of them love to do it. It's who they are. There is a group of them that have banded together to do it. They think that it is acceptable. Ignore is a tool to improve your gaming experience. Don't feel bad about using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
