Your Own Mecha

BJH writes "A Japanese company by the unfortunate name of tmsuk has just announced the world's largest robot capable of carrying a person - the 3.5m tall, 5 ton T52 Enryu HyperRescueRobot. Their product site is in Japanese, but here's a few fun facts: it's 10m wide with its arms fully outstretched, is powered by an onboard water-cooled three cylinder direct injection diesel engine, has a maximum speed of 3Km/h, and carries seven 680,000-pixel CCD cameras with a separate monitor for each camera. If no whiny 14-year-olds are available to pilot it, it can be remotely controlled (with a dummy plug in the cockpit, presumably)."

In the News: Google Smashes SCO's Darl with Mech

[tobechar]

Given Google's current predicament with SCO knocking on their door, it's only a matter of time before Google purchases a Mech for self-defense.

Google certainly can afford a Mech, using the money that SCO would otherwise get (or not get). This Mech could first be used to end SCO's reign of evil, while providing the Google executives with an exciting new bodyguard!

On a side thought, imagine one of these Mechs being entered into a round of Battlebots... Carnage!
