Prosthesis The Anti-Robot

From the Prosthesis projects Indiegogo campaign:

Prosthesis: the world's 1st, human controlled racing robot. Formula 1, meet the future. Let the races begin.

We are trying to save the future for the humans. With the relentless and unchecked automation of everything we do, we are trying to remind people that technology was invented to improve our quality of life, and that doesn't always mean just doing everything for you. Sometimes that means doing something really, really challenging. Sometimes that means taking on something that many have dreamed of, but no one has dared try before. Like building and learning to pilot a two story tall, 3500kg walking machine that you use your whole body to control, without computers to help you.... cont'd at homepage and Indiegogo.
