Both of those are really cool. I guess the Japanese love of mechs has a practical value after all.

Am I the only one, or does the suit remind anyone else of Issib's lifts in the Homecoming series? Anyone? Vaguely?

So this is for a person who can walk, and it will give them the strength to carry someone who can't? I was kind of hoping that the suit could be warn by a disabled person and allow them to walk/run/climb, etc. That would be REALLY cool.

That robot in the classroom is the coolest thing!! Wow! That sure would make life a lot easier for the teacher AND the students who are too sick to come to class.

That's what it is. The disabled person can wear it. Although, I don't know about running and climbing. It gives them the ability to walk, I think they have to have some movement though.

No, not at all. Katarain has the right of it.

Wish I were wrong, though.
