The weigth of the armor is spread out over the body, so that it won't hamper
movement too badly (it can, however, detract from the Comabt Pool). The servos
and flat-motors just give the user a hell of a strength boost (making
Strength 12, IIRC). I'll find the article and send stats to anyone who wants
