Interim: Problem Definition:
During warfare, we lose too many troops. Infantry troops aren't as effective during modern warfare due to the fact that technology has changed drastically since the 1940's. Weapons here in the twenty-first century are more powerful and can destroy entire platoons of soldiers instantly. Many casualties and even injuries will stop these troops from performing effectively. Also certain climates that troops are not prone to, affect the productivity of their actions and progress. Morale is also a factor, too much stress is caused, by the death of fellow comrades.
Problem Solution:
This problem can be solved using a mechanized exo-skeleton so that troop injuries are less prevalent to combat. With our mechanized exo-skeleton we would be using less infantry in combat, and being completely mechanic, it is more or less a tank on legs. A handful of troops will be trained in the piloting of the mechanized exo-skeleton, so that the pilots can rest while another pilot takes command of the exo-skeleton. Our mechanized exo-skeleton is more geared towards infantry skirmishes and the siege of key points and less towards covert operations. In conclusion efficient procedures will be provided to support troops for the world, decreasing the casualties.
Progress to Date:
As a group we have been researching types of metal that are strong, effective, least costly, and light-weight in the battlefield. We have also researched types of weapons that are able to be mounted on the mechanical exo-skeleton.
Expected Results:
We expect to recreate a model and an animation of our mechanized exo-skeleton. Producing a graph or excel spread sheet for the weight and hydraulics problem along with the cost.

The ancient Mayan culture had been able to use technology well beyond their ability therefore making it plausible that the Mayans were aided by aliens and maybe even gods.
