We invite you to join us in launching the world's consumer mecha walking vehicle market, with the "Mecha Battle Wars" competition on world famous Venice Beach, California.
Never before have real mecha walking vehicles been available for purchase by consumers. And the ones in movies like Star Wars and video games like Halo are merely computer-generated.
So we thought we'd make a big spash at Venice Beach and introduce to you the world's first ever, real-life mecha walking vehicles, in a mecha battle and mecha laser tag competition series.
"Mecha Battle Wars" presents competitors in 10’ tall giant walking robots for all out smash em up, knock em out, rock em sock em action. Plus laser knockouts to help eliminate the competition! And you and your friends can join in for all the spills and thrills of BattleBots and Wipeout combined!
In this reality competition featuring competitors in our giant 10' tall walking robot vehicles, the competitors will battle it out against each other, and try to navigate an extreme obstacle course designed to provoke head-on crashes, toppling and wipeouts. Plus laser tag hits! With one competitor taking home a cash grand prize. Will it be you?
You can register to join us in the action as a competitor, host/color commentator, crew member, or creative assistant, on our BackStage.com page: http://backstage.walkingvehiclesgo.com
Yes. You've seen them in movies, video games animated TV series, anime and comics. In movies, such as Star Wars, they are the two-legged AT-ST personnel transporters, otherwise known as "chicken walkers."
If you play video games, such as Halo, the walking mechs are among the most difficult to defeat. Despite being massive and relatively slow, they are towering and resilent.
The TV animated series ExoSquad, from Universal, actually utililized an early design of our walking vehicles for their "E-Frames" mech walkers.
If you hadn't noticed, the Pokemon GO monsters are essentially walking mecha as well. And anime and comics are filled with them, such as RoboTech series.
But all those were computer-generated. These are finally real.
Walking in the walking vehicles is exactly like when you walk. Leaning side-to-side allows you to easily lift and push each leg forward. Lean left to lift and push the right leg forward. Similarly, lean right to lift and push the left leg forward.
Don't worry too much about falling sideways, because the feet have a sideways limiter to help prevent sideways toppling. Also, our leg uprights are angled forward at approximately 75 degrees to the feet, to help prevent you from falling over forward or backward on level surfaces and up to a 2.5 degree up or down slope.
To turn, twist the leg upright one way or another, walking forward. Want to back up? It's the same as walking forward: lean, lift and push the leg upright backwards.
But when walking up or down a slope, simply shift your body. Walking up a slope, shift the weight of your body forward. Do the opposite when walking down a slope, shifting your body backwards.
The robotics industry relies on motors and electricity to make robots walk, which makes walking robots very expensive. The typical two-or four-legged walking robots cost up to $1.5 million ot build. That's why walking vehicles have never been commercially available unil now.
We decided to take a different approach: no motors and no electricity to walk. It was a challenge, but isn't everything worth accomplishing? Our concept was strictly human-powered walking, based on how humans actually walk.
The result is you may start off stomping your way forward, but with practice you can walk and even run. Just don't start off trying to run. Take your time and with practice you'll get better and have more fun!
