  Sticking to the original post -
  If you think you can build a better Exoskeleton her is your chance to put that to the test...or at least watch others try.
  
  robogames.net
  
  The Exoskeleton event is called Tetsujin (Japanese for Iron Person)

    "Tetsujin" is also what they call the Iron Chefs on the original Japanese show. ^_^
    
    Don't forget, to build a proper Tetsuo outfit, you need to start with rocket-powered roller skates:

      Actually, the full name of the show is "Ryori no Tetsujin" or Iron Man of Cooking (or "Cuisine").
      
      Speaking of Tetsujins (somewhat getting back on topic), I was thinking about building slightly bigger "suits" for carrying heavier weaponry:
      
      ex.
      TA or "Tactical Armors"

        Since we're saying "actually" and being all smarty-pants, actually "jin" means "person," not "man."
        
        Secondly, what I meant, was an individual chef would be called, for example, "Tetsujin Sakai."
        
        The title, as you almost say, would be "Cuisine's Iron Person." ("no" is possessive.)
        
        I'm cheating, though, since I have a translator at home -- my wife is Japanese. ^_^
        
        I managed to forget most of what I learned in Japanese class.

          I forgot you had a Japanese wife...
          
          ...so would the Japanese title to this movie be "Tetsujin" ? www.youtube.com/watch

            oops you did say "jin" stands for "person".
            
            so what's "iron man" ?

              She tells me you can say "Tetsuo" if "Iron Man" was somebody's proper name.
              
              But the super hero "Iron Man," she says, would, as you say, be "Tetsujin."
              
              The term "jin" means "person" or "human," so is basically gender neutral. You would never say "iron MAN" in Japanese, only "iron person" -- though the (sexist) assumption is often that the person spoken of is male.

                  And (as I'm sure Atom already knows) Astro Boy's Japanese name is "Tetsuwan Atomu" or "Mighty (literally 'Iron-Arm') Atom."
