Are mecha and giant robots practical to have here???....

Well he actually uses his gundam to snipe, but he did the aiming so guess you could say he's amazing.

Anyway, have you heard the game Ring of Red? They have that kind of mech that seems to use steam power I think.

True, but it take a pilot and his skill to make it awesome. Try giving a noob to control the gundam and you can guess what will happen..

No, to be honest, my area isn't actually game central, so there isn't much choice. Steam power mech game, I would really love to play that..

Ah, I guess your interest is something else. Anyway what's your view if a purpose would early mecha serve? Anyway I was wondering if the people during that age did have an idea of actually building a mech or robots. I'm sure I saw some old footage of a walking machinery during the old era...

No, don't misunderstood me. I love giant robot,mech and their game, it just that in my neighborhood area there isn't a lot of shop selling PC,PS2 game. Even if there are any, there isn't much choice to choose from but the internet connection here is good. So most of the time I'm on the net more than playing game...

Early mech purpose. I think it would have something to to with construction I guess. As building become taller and built on unstable ground, they might need help from mech. The size of the mech might varies but the definition of "giant" change over time...

Yeah, I have seen those. In the future man are given two choice, either more efficient machine or robot. I figure they will go for the robot. From small robot, will come the mech...

I found these on the net. They are real, not photoshoped. What do you think ? could these be the predecessor of an early ancient mech...

Haha ok, I just thought that you are focussed on something else that you have no time for games.

Early robots for construction eh, considering the risks of working in the construction area it would be really helpful. Also nice find, there's also some video in YouTube showing how they are used.

Anyway in my previous post I did mention of old machinery footage that I saw, I tried to search for it but stumbled upon something more interesting. Take a look at these sites...

So the people from Victorian era do comes up with these kind of machine. It seems like the first humanoid looking robot is the Steam Man, really interesting. Also, Boilerplate seems to interest me a lot, from joining battles to the expedition in Alaska though it seems Boilerplate is a work of fiction. I wonder if it actually moves...

You are right about Steam Man and Boilerplate although they are fiction. Those are the kind of classic robot feature I love and it would be even better if it actually exist.

Nice find for the site, I love the "From ideas to first walking machines" site where it's show human enguinity and creativity in progress. Maybe future robot might look like in iRobot. Not sure about the 3 Asimov law for robot.

Steam Man existence would actually serve a purpose to pull a carriage in the Victorian era but then it kinda seem not suitable for this era while the Boilerplate seems a much more better in the way of performing its function. Still its kind of interesting that people have already had an idea of using humanoid machine in daily lives in the early era.

Asimov's 3 robotics law eh?

I'm not sure if it would actually apply in the real world, I'm kinda thinking the law is more related to a master-servant relationship with the robots.
