This is probably the coolest looking humanoid I have seen.

Looks cool but when you learn the feet are held in place magnetically it gets less interesting.

If you watch the video its clear that its moves defy normal biped physics.

I wish I could walk around with magnetic boots.

Regardless that is one nice looking bot. I wish there were more of these types of suits available for humanoids. I like the genex suit also.

Becareful if you try this with your robot. I tried something similar (using ridiculously oversized feet).

It was great fun to defy gravity and do flamboyant moves without the fear of falling. But it was not long until too much torque was applied to an ankle servo and ...... snap.... went an servo thread. The servo never recovered :oops: .
