    How freaky would it be if while out deer hunting that thing came stumbling through the bush like my drunken uncle in front of you :bug:

    Love the use of the hockey stick :D

    There are some very interesting developments with robotics in the works! Ekso bionics sticker (ekso) and ReWalk sticker (rwlk) both have made huge headway, the VA just announced (February or March) they would pay for soldiers who have spinal cord injuries to receive the rwlk to assist in walking; several insurance companies have confirmed these are medically necessary and will provide coverage. Ekso announced this week they received FDA approval for spinal code injuries and stroke victims to utilize this product!

    5 years from now these will be as common to see as wheelchairs are now.

    Well Matt, if the labeling of "10 lbs" that was on the boxes it was lifting is any indication of it's ability or limit to lift, stacking wood for the OWB is years away!

    I guess if it tried to pick up too heavy of a piece, it really could blow a nut!
