Here is a Walking Chair prototype that some lab has created. It is very cool lokking and impractical like BattleTech itself. Over at slashdotm where I got story, many were inspired by the sheer nerdiness of this project.
Creimer wanted a toll to make gaming easier.
Bughouse wanted a fanboy toy.
Dr Memory expressed a fear that these could be widely adopted.

I just can't wait for the model with integrated gaming computer, toliet and soda dispenser for those long deathmatch games where it can walk you home after you pass out from playing too much.

I'll take one with 6 Medium Lasers, an AC/20, a PPC-10, and an LRM-6 please.

Heh, that was my first thought: "Jesus, how soon before I see these things stomping around Wal-Mart?" I swear, I go there about five times a year, and every time it's like Bloated Freaks on Wheels week.cephal0p0d includes links to many more walking robot sites.
