16VCorey is a low-budget Tony Stark

I'm just sayin... Don't mess with Iron Man. Look at what he made in his garage. Words cannot adequately describe.

So awesome, so much want

That is awesome!!!

I'm waiting for the Mark 2 version, where you ask it a question and it tells you whether the answer is Miata, E30, or P71.

berkeley YEA!

I thought the Mark 2 added the censor chip? The one where it curses at you using board memes?

Oooooh nice

I remember the first thread about this - cool to see the (near?) finished product.

go to the last post on page 3 to see how big it is and how good the articulation is, my jaw dropped...

Haha! Thanks guys!

Thanks poop - I am lazy

16vCorey - that's just badass man

I added some pics of the chest panel in the original thread, since it's pretty dark in the video.

What kind of camera is that? I see a lot of vids that have that wierd effect on the motion, I guess in an attempt to make it appear smooth.

The camera is just a Sony point and shoot, don't remember the model. I think the effect you're referring to is done by youtube. After I uploaded it, it said something like "We've detected that the video is shaky, would you like us to fix that?". I said yes. But yeah, it is a kind of strange effect.

Tell Hogarth to hold the camera next time.

I like how it blinks.

Looks like the Iron Giant.

Very cool. I once built a wearable iron man outfit for myself. The problem was that I had to be bolted in by others. It was very claustrophobic, and while I wore it to one party, I was afraid that someone would screw with me, and I'd be unable to respond appropriately. The irony is that it made me feel very vulnerable.

Well, you then need to build a machine to install the suit onto you. Duh. Didn't watch the movie?

A little above my pay grade. And those thrusters are a bitch to get dialed in. Don't even get me started on telemetry!

. . . That is some AWESOME work Corey!!
