That model showing off the Kuratas in that one video looked like she was having way too much fun with it's 'Smile Gun'.

Yes, it's a SM gun.
The manual is quite good, too, especially the parts with exiting the mech.

I wonder how many working models they have.I can imagine mecha duels becoming the latest fad among rich otakus.

I think it said somewhere they can make one each month or so.
I think true geek build their own.
They have been competing in Robo-One competition (now 15th)

Heh, the chinese just joined this year and they make it as if they own the place. Not to mention the parts they buy to build are all japanese products. They are getting cocky everywhere now without any proof to back any up.

claim it as our own!"

Found some interesting game image

These are interesting "western" (WWII) designs.

*BUMP*
I automatically thought of Votoms when I saw that image.

Many have copied Votoms and if you build a mini mecha you can't get around similar looks.

Anyway,
tight rope walking standard japanese robot kit


bike ridding robot standard japanese robot kit

better than the still non-working motorbike robot some years ago

It's always funny to see robots made to use\do purely human things instead of getting wheels attached directly etc. Great videos
I feel that while robots progress slowly, at certain moment the progress will reach that critical point where it will all start rolling very fast...
