| While we do not have giant, //Robotech//- or //Battletech//-style walking robots, Furscape's theme DOES allow for powered exoskeletons. Power loaders, and heavy construction or cargo-loading exoframes such as those seen in the movie //Aliens// or the manga/movie //Appleseed// are considered themely (as of May 17, 2004), within the other theme and rules of the MUCK (no artificial gravity, anti-gravity flight systems, etc...). | While we do not have giant, //Robotech//- or //Battletech//-style walking robots, Furscape's theme DOES allow for powered exoskeletons.

Walking units are typically controlled via arm and leg inputs similar to the GE Walking Truck (Google it!), though with more modernized electronics and computer controls. Direct neural control of these vehicles is ungainly, inaccurate, and cumbersome, far more so than traditional control inputs. I suggest not trying to argue this point with me."// | | | [[devik|{{http://www.trmichels.com/WolfHeadStare3310.jpg?75x75|Pie!}}]]|//Devik Sez: "A word on controls from an IC perspective.
