>>>>>[ RAMboy: I don't know how you organize data in that mind of yours but
a
quick scan through the Issac Asamov (drek, I can't spell) Memorial Science
Fiction Data Base says that the Black Widow Company, Inner Sphere, and 70-ton
robots indicates a supplement for a late 20th Century RPG call BattleTech.
Stupid statements like this make you sound like a newbie. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[ As for the rest of you robot jocks, I seriously doubt the Vatican
has
any since it lacks the tech or money and some friends of mine have a prototype
that the Fuchi U.K. division was working on earily this year. Thier names are
Lister and Kickanski. Of course their out of the loop right now. ]<<<<<

>>>>>[Nightstalker: I don't think it was Fuchi that I heard the rumours
about, but I'll look into those too. I also didn't think that the
"giant robots" were out of the planning stage, but different companies
don't have to follow the same agenda. If Fuchi UK is working on such a
large suit, I wouldn't be surprised to see other companies conducting
similar research. The rumours I heard involved battlesuits more than
giant robots, although the distinction may be only a matter of small
height differences. I'll let you know if I find anything out.]>>>>>
