Would mechs come in real life?

Balancing issues you say? Even if it's pretty basic, I think this guy works pretty well! If they can make one of these babies today, imagine the future :)

The balancing issues might well related to bipedal units and if they were built in gigantic scale like the gundams. While smaller units are easier to balance, larger designs might have difficulties moving in terms of balancing(getting the center of gravity right) and weight distribution (because they will be very heavy weighting around tonnes).

You gotta start small in everything you do, and build it from there.

Oh, btw, about bipedals, check out Petman!

True, its just the probability in seeing a perfect moving mecha like the Gundam or Zaku while you still alive is nearly impossible. I'm pretty sure in the future the issue of balancing and weight would already be adressed. What makes me curious is the generator that will be used to power the mecha. Will there be any feasible power that will be enough to move a mecha?

All that'd be practical right now would have to be a miniaturized nuclear reactor. They'd have to find a way to efficiently shrink all the cooling and whatnot, so I dunno if they could get that done.

Or perhaps, solar power, though I don't know how much energy you'd have to charge up to get that thing moving right.

that cool man i never saw a biped theyre usually quadrupeds

im guessin it would happen in 100 to 200 years , but civilization as we know it wouldn't exist anymore . There would only be mercenarie pilots of huge , ( in my case ) armored cores , that basically just wage war amongst the ruins of what once were huge thriving cities . The remaining people of earth would eventually head for space since planet earth would be more polluted than mexico city ,,, ..

ps..... i took my theory from ARMORED CORE _

-_-
By the time they solve the balancing issues, they would've already solved the issue of power supply.

Hmm, they might. I'm just curious of what kind of energy source they will use to move the mecha. Like one user said nuclear powered energy supply. There might be some other alternatives...

Fuel cells might be feasible though I can only picture small sized mechs being powered by it.

bah!

fuel cells are for green environment pussies

REAL MECHS get theirs from fusion generators!

Oh god, fusion generator debri. Id hate to be the pilot being on the look out for downed mechs. Either way, once the robot junkies of today get a perfected android, mechs are the next evolution. Eventually it'll happen. Just won't until we all unite the world under one nation or else we'll have died from not uniting before the next genocide by war.

Well you got to start small!
We already have Low-Tech Mechs being made already. I think it will be another 70-100 years before we could even make a High-tech one.

ya know.... i think it WILL come out BUT(!) will only begin experimentation and development mainly for the use of building colonies in like mars (sorry about this but i think earth is REALLY getting overpopulated due to peace).

that way, development of colonies will begin, marking newer generation mechs that will take over those worker mechs and inciting the beginning of the development of attack mechs... (reasoning: mechs will be necessary to build large buildings in short amount of time. workload decreases and output increases)



this will be nearly impossible and considered impossible. what would you name the new nation? how will it fit with the rest of the previous nations that they can accept it? what language will be our main language? how can we have a nation with omni-races and not have war(sorry, i really need to ask this, living in Malaysia but i have a bit of racism in me)? will the nation share their resources to the needy (think of afgha or africa) ?

and these are just the tip of the iceberg...
