 And it's basically made from LEGOs and rubber bands...

 They 3D print the parts from the same plastic they make LEGOs from. Pretty damn cool.

I don't like this story. The exoskeleton obviously gives her an unfair advantage while at play. Also this is obviously the starts to cyborg research. It is just sickening that our children have to be the subjects of such cruel (yet militarily beneficial) research.

"Have your own cyborg super hero"? What a dreadful thought that you humans would even own those that are partially organic yet superior to you... Were such cyborgs to join machine society, they would be treated as equals (though it would be unfortunate for the synthetic modules to be hindered by flesh).

First of all, "unfair advantage"? She's not playing high stakes pool.


And I fail to see how helping a disabled girl live her life=military benefit.

We must maintain a military advantage. Especially if it allows us to have cybernetic forces. We must compensate for china and india's sheer numbers!

I doubt you'd be saying that if it were your kid who's butt she was whoopin' at Jenga thanks to the surgical precision her exo-suit allows her.

Haha, I suppose I'd have to step in and play, I used to love Jenga (or jumbling Towers, as the rip off version I had was called).

From the book of ICP:

"****ing magnets, how do they work?
And I don't wanna talk to a scientist
Y'all mother****ers lying, and getting me pissed"
