/m/, is there mecha paintball?
I found some but mostly dead old links (pic related)
I know there are kuratas and megabot but both are turboexpensive and it seems are unavailable now.
So I looking for something like armored suit or passive exoskeleton.
I was thinking to start making my own mini-mecha or exosuits for sale/ rent yet local paintball clubs are not interested.
So question is - do you want to shoot rockets and paintballs in someone's face while dressed up in armored mecha suit, how it should look and how much cost?
Currently I see it as bipedal yet not very human-like mechs fighting in miniature city arena

Maybe even this design just smaller

That quite resembles the kuratas.

When I was an idiotic child with a head full of Heavy Gear (TV) and Gundam Wing, I once did something really stupid with my friends. We got a whole bunch of cardboard boxes and made our own robot suits, got some airsoft guns and bottle rockets and spent an afternoon having giant robot fights in these costumes, jumping at each other off trampolines, shooting bottle rockets at each other, etc.

And I even tried to wear roller blades for a bit to do the whole 'drive around VOTOMS style' thing. Didn't work well.

Actually sounds pretty fun

Call me childish, autistic or whatever, but I wanna try this.

Wait, roller blades while still in carboard boxes?
Kinda hardcore

That is Metal.

In 10 years the Kuratas will be fast enough for good VOTOMS simulation. Too bad you probably won't have enough money to do it.

In 10 years we would probably be around singularity so maybe it wouldn't cost too much.

Awesome childhood is not about watching some cartoon or playing video game around the time you were kid.
It is doing awesome things like this >>13812008
>>13812009 with your equally cool friends.
Consider yourself lucky , anon. Not many have fun like that, let alone gather friends who will not obstruct the things you want to do.

As if

In China they already build small houses with giant 3d printers so that is not a big problem
Yet every mecha will have 'made in china' somewhere

That sounds pretty fun actually.

But yes at this rate it would be just a unnecessary expensive walking dirty bomb
