Here is an idea for the X PRIZE Foundations, next X PRIZE competition; Mechanized Exo-Skeletal Armor Systems (MESAS XP).
The competition should be based around practical usage niches such as Fire Fighting, SWAT, Under Water Rescue, Mining and Handicapped Mobility. I leave out the Military applications, as it is clearly an area that the Defense Department is working and I am quite certain the bureaucracy of DARPA isn’t going to participate.
Oh well, I guess that won't be happening anytime soon, but a guy can hope can't he!
