wheel chair of the future
« on: May 30, 2009, 10:29:06 PM »
Apparently its like a wearable segway meant for those who can't walk. And all you suckers are still using your legs!

I guess going to the bathroom capabilities would be a major design flaw . . .

my biggest question would be how do you get into it?
does the back open up or something?
that would kinda suck if you had to pee though ;D

lol... it would probably have some kind of monitor that tells you the battery level..
but if the battery went dead... it may actually do that!
but they have most likely thought of this already and done something about it.
