My new gaming chair.
Silverback 55 \| 7:22 PM on 01.14.2008	8 comments

I saw this over at Deadspin and thought it needed to be shared. Copy pasta to follow.

Designed for the disabled people, the Tank Chair is an off-road, all-purpose wheelchair that’s turning a lot of heads at the CES show. This tough chair is built out of a one-piece steel chassis with the tracks made from ruggedized rubber and lightweight aluminum struts. Boasting a top speed of 5 mph, the Tank Chair Mk II has 24V, 2HP, 127RPM variable speed motor that gets its juice from four Optima Deep Cycle batteries. Its creator claims that the chair can even outpace a golf cart. That sounds great as it would be able to go almost anywhere.

HAHAHAH! Wow.

Yea, I saw this over on Geekologie about a week ago. Looks awesome, but it only goes 5mph. You couldn't outrun a storeclerk on it.

Oh my God. It's official: cyborgs created by the evil super-computer 'Skynet' actually exist.

It has 2 hit points? j/k

I like it. 5mph isn't a bad speed at all. And its a price id glady pay to be able to run into some random douchebag.

ZekeThePlumber

You can still run people over with it. You just need to make sure they don't see it coming.

All it needs is a toilet and I'm set.

Comments policy

Destructoid is an open discussion community. You don't need to "audition" to post a comment - just speak your mind. We respect differing opinions on the site, so have at it. Be smart, funny, insightful, clueless, or cute -- but back it up with substance. Keep your cool, keep it fun. We only ask that you act respectfully and above all: don't be a troll and ruin it for everyone else. Don't bring down gamers or we'll, you know, gently shoot you in the face and stuff you into a flaming mailbox. Each comment is your opportuntity to make this community awesomer. Is that even a word?

Avoiding the banhammer only requires common sense: spamming, trolling, racism, NSFW stuff, and other forms of sucking will not be tolerated. If anyone is griefing please report abuse. Be good. Don't suck!

about me

Well, my name is Josh. I'm 24 and live in So Cal. After school I just ended up taking over the family business of t-shirts & sign making. Its a cool job, I spend most of my day on the interwebs and "doing the design work". At least thats what I tell the other employees.
As far as games go, I love all different types and styles, although lately I've been stuck in shooter territory. The running joke with my friends is I always picked the losing console. So this generation I went out and bought all 3 new systems.

Favorite Games:

1. Super Mario Bros. 3
2. God of War
3. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune
4. Super Mario World
5. BioShock

Favorite Movies:

1. Gladiator
2. X-men 2
3. Grosse Point Blank
4. Dumb & Dumber
5. City of God

Things I hate:

1. Raiders
2. Red Sox
3. slow drivers
4. fanboys (its just a machine to play games, you can enjoy them all)
5. stupidity in general
