Mech 16

This was a major project from CGS (and my favorite assignment from the classes). Mech 16 is a design that was loosely inspired by the shapes of orangutans. I thought it would be cool for an exo-suit design to have extra large arms that were used for effectively climbing while also built for running (as if they were front legs). The smaller arms are used for more precise actions like firing weapons or collecting samples from a tree/cliff as the large arms hold the mech's weight.

Note: It is named after the 16th sketch I made during ideation. "Sketch 16" was the first one I introduced large arms and covered legs to the concept.
