more ways to kill people yay

>>783156
It's not the killing that's inherently wrong, it's that they're killing all the wrong people.

>>783160
Exactly. Now I'm going to form a terrorist group that uses mechs and we're going to attack the UN conference (because they are feddies) and we will make a speech about enviromentalism or something once we occupy the building, who wants to join up?

I don't think you understand what I said

>>783162
omg me

I want to be the underdog technician who maintains these things

these typa vids have been comin out about shit like this for like two decades now and they never show the robots or whatever fuckin wundertech ever actually doing anything useful in their lil hype vids. it's all silicon valley tech mania to raise funds attract investments and unfortunately the chinese have contracted this stupid mania. they follow along all the stupid tech trends that come out of silicon valley without consideration of their real potential.

Infantile, loud-mouthed, largely ignorant of the laws of physics gunpla addicted closet reactionary.

We have a team

Ok but I'm not a closet reactionary

These things are probably expensive as shit, and this design leaves the user completely open to being shot, obviously you could add armour around the cockpit but that will increase weight. The limbs are probably also made of plastic which wouldn't hold to bullets well at all. Of course those could be changed as well but it's still very slow moving and one RPG would take it out. Even sustained machinegun fire probably could destroy the joints. A light autocannon would annihilate it almost instantly.

In conclusion, yeah this ain't it.

"Unitree Robotics has unveiled the GD01 — the world's first mass-produced rideable transforming mecha, with a starting price of $650,000."

Not as much as it could be but still expensive. That's without any guns or armour as well.

You would be much better off in a Toyota pickup with a gun on the back than one of these - the only issue would be you can't shoot the gun on the back with only one person, but if you really wanted to do that you could mount the machinegun on the hood instead so the driver can grab and shoot it.

>But this thing can handle terrain that wheels can't!

No it can't. All of this footage was on perfectly flat ground, and look at the size of its feet. They are broad and flat, you couldn't even use this thing on moderately rocky ground let alone a mountain or something.

dumbasses not using them as glorified power suits for disabled folks and miners to act as a second set of muscles.

Powerarmors I get, but mecha seem to have literally 0 advantage over armored vehicles, and whole bunch of disadvantages.

>>783156
Seems to be a transport for civilian use. Advantages of these two or four legged robots is that they can climb in rocky terrain unlike wheeled vehicles.

Maybe good for industrial work.

people in this board glaze the china tech sector so much, like tech workers in china don't have posters of elon musk in the iron man suit in their cubicles that double as sleeping chambers for their 16 hour shifts

>>783261
The technology is in its infancy. But the difficult part of making it walk is done. Robotics are advancing very quickly right now. All terrain capability is next. We will get "mobile workers".

>>783271
We have great robotics for disabled people, the problem is that they do not get access to said robotics because they don't have the money. Capitalism steals people's limbs.

>>783301
I hate the Imperialist state of China, I just welcome technological progress since it will benefit us all.

Isn't the point of mechs sex appeal? Why make it not sex?

They also say that chivalry is dead.

>>783311
Is China even communist anymore?

>>783402
No. They're redwashed capitalists.

>>783409
I thought so

>>783311
Making it walk is not the hard part, there's been projects like this for years, the hard part is actually making it do anything useful
