Two teenage inventors embark on an endeavor of immense proportions, and potentially world shaking effects...the construction of MaRRVE. With applications ranging from construction and material transport to life saving Disaster relief missions, MaRRVE (Manned and Remote Robotic Vehicular Exoskeleton) will allow the wearer or a remote pilot to lift loads up to 1,500 lbs (680 Kg) all while relaying vital haptic, and sensory. You will have to subscribe to watch the epic unfold every 3D print, casting, line of code, weld, solder joint, nut, and bolt of the way! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPO3R2VJNclVTbt-3Bl_SBg
all 3d models will be uploaded to thingiverse http://www.thingiverse.com/TechTazed/about
PS the price and time information is an estimate of what has curently been spent developing this not the final cost.
The latest version of the control glove is fully adjustable detects 2 degres of freedom per finger, and provides force feedback. Temperature feedback will be added in the near future.
Amplifies the wearer's strength, provides haptic feedback and environmental information, aids in disaster relief missions remotely if necessary.
