I wonder if he's worked the bugs out... (Score 1)

This guy originally began designing these suits, which he'd previously called MarkI through MarkVI, in order to allow himself to have close-up encounters with bears (driven by an experience from earlier in life). Last time I saw this suit being demonstrated, there was one major problem:
Troy spotted a bear out in the middle of an open field and began moving slowly towards it from his hiding place. So slowly, in fact, that the bear apparently got bored of sitting still and walked away. Troy's mobility was limited to about 1 step per second and a half.

Mind you, seeing a whole army of indestructible soldiers marching along at a snail's pace with cars, bombs, etc bouncing harmlessly away from them is darn cool, but I think that's not wuite what the army wants... Notice for example (assuming the posted links to the gang beating are the same that I've seen) that Troy remains unharmed by baseball bats, but is quite unable to right himself (or prevent others from ripping the suit off, I'll bet). Sure, he can take a log battering ram on the chest no problem, but the real question is whether or not he should have to. (if you've never see the log swinging video, find it--it's hilarious).
