Exosuits are not a new idea in our world vision.

The HULC allows a soldier to walk, run, kneel and crawl, among other things. It can impede other movements however, but if a soldier comes under fire and needs more flexibility, the HULC can be removed in about 30 seconds.

We watched the demo video. The HULC looks flexible enough to accommodate a laypersons idea of a soldiers needs. If it performs under pressure is anybody’s guess. What impressed *us* the most was the attachable waldo. The thing has a third arm that can be used to carry ordinance or a SWAT shield.

You make that waldo fully robotic and thought controlled and we’ll hand you the check by Friday.
