Homemade Mech Robot: OMG He’s Gonna Kill Us All!!
Carlos Owens has way to much time on his hands. He has built an 18 foot tall metal monster. This homemade mech is a true testament DIY. This is quite an impressive build.This behemoth is a full scale mech that is able to mirror the moves of its human pilot. Its made of steel with a complex network of cables and hydraulics. Currently the mech can raise its arms bend at the knees and do the occasional sit up (hey a robot needs to stay in shape).He invested 4 years and $25,000 but isn’t done yet. He considers this to be just a prototype and plans on building 2 more of these things which will be lighter and more maneuverable. He does dream of military application but really just wants to entertain robot fans by hosting Mech Vs. Mech battles.
thanks to popsci for the find
