additionally, you should read my entire post and note that I am not advocating giant robots, at least not walking ones. I note that you casually cut off the second half of my argument where I point out how useless the actual act of a giant walking robot would be.
Secondly: back the hell off.
Stop addressing this staw man argument you built out of my reasoning. Your putting all kinds of word into my mouth with mules and lack of air-power and artillery, ect, ect...I said NOTHING about that. That does not mean that air-power ceases to exist, that simply means I either assumed that it would still be there doing the same thing it has always done, or I didnt bother to bring it into my argument.
If you want to talk about weapons, I can build you a gauss-rifle or a mass driver. Both of which are almost devoid of recoil. Hell, I built a gauss rifle for my 12th grade scince class...well, mostly for fun, but I was in class at the time.
Now, if you please, before I get extremely pissed over the fact that you ignored the latter half of my argument, go back, and reread it. Wherein I address the sillyness of giant walking robots, in favor of giant rolling robots.
And as for a tinker-toy that can climb stairs, that is NOT what I was talking about when I refrenced the terminator 3 movie.
