Sarcos' military exoskeleton becomes a frightening reality


Have you been waiting for a legion of half-man, half-machine storm troopers to descend upon your city and blaze a round of hellfire in all general directions? If you said yes, that's kind of weird. At any rate, you can consider yourself one step closer to cyborg annihilation thanks to a company called Sarcos and its semi-scary exoskeleton -- which will make any regular old soldier into a Terminator-like killing machine (as far as we can tell).

and it gets more funner


Raytheon, the giant defense contractor, recently bought up Utah technology firm Sarcos‘ robotics business. And it wasn’t because of Sarcos’ work on the Bellagio’s fountains, I suspect. For years, Sarcos has been working for the military on real-life exoskeletons, to radically boost soldiers’ strength.

are you paying attention, Girlfriend

That video is funnier if you play the 'Rocky' theme song over it.

Just a matter of time before some crazy chick blows that place up and then disappears.
