Tanks don't scare me up close. Mecha with Bipedal system probably gives more psychological feeling and one-army-man rather than a tank. Dunno the advantages and disadvantages of bipedal mecha since its insufficient experiment.. But I can say I'm fan of F.E.A.R series.

When you are turned into red fog by a .50 it makes no difference what the machine that sprays you looks like. It does make a difference for the people who are supposed to maneuver in them. A hexapod or octopod make much more sense than a biped system as it is inherently unstable because of the high center of gravity. I've been designing and building robots for over a decade, and I've seen enough methods of motion on various platforms to see what works and what not.

I should have said "knowledge is power" instead of mecha with bipedal system. Besides, It's even more important for humanity to improve and advance our knowledge of the science rather than building a mecha with bipedal system.

Awesome. 
Why is this nearly as impressive as a kit-built helicopter???

You know I've always had this dream to build a kit helicopter and learn to fly it. Could attach spraybars and a small reservoir. Love watching youtubes of people building aircraft in their garages etc.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
It's not that hard actually.

He chartered a mobile crane to get it down and has been plying the waters with it since. ![[Image: Hetwijdesop.jpg]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i75.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fi319%2FRokcetScientist%2FHetwijdesop.jpg)
You know I've heard that it isn't tough, just attention to detail. I have my doubts, after all I'll be leaving terra firma behind in the thing...assurances must be made..lol.
