Cool Japanese Landwalker Robot
The Japanese make some cool Star Wars related products like the R2D2 DVD Video Projector. Remember in the movie trilogy when the empire had those giant walking machines? The stuff of special effects on film is a real robot/machine in Japan. Created by Japanese company Sakakibara Kikai, the one seater LandWalker is 3.4m high, weighs 1000kg and has a 250cc engine. Four pedals control the movement of the Landwalker which can move at 1.5km/h while the hands are free to aim the air guns (which shoot soft rubber balls)
