Project Grizzly Bear-Proof Suit Up For Auction

Posted by simoniker on from the electric-boogaloo dept.

Ch_Omega writes "The Project Grizzly suit, The 'Ursus Mark VI', a 'grizzly-proof' suit of armour', was mentioned on Slashdot a few years ago. For all of you who then wished for such a suit (for wrestling with Grizzly Bears?), both the original Mark VI and the improved Mark VII (featuring 'a built-in video screen, a cooling system, pressure-bearing titanium struts, protective airbags, shock absorbers, a robotic third arm, built-in regular arms and swivel shoulders') are now for sale on eBay!"

    Or a Lance, which is 4 mechs (used by I.S. forces, IIRC).

    Just because we CAN invade their territory, disrupt their ecology, and torment them, doesn't mean that we should.

    That applies to Iraqis, too.
