Pacific Rim is such a cool movie! But what would it take to actually build and operate a working 260ft (79m) tall robot like Gipsy Danger?
I know lets ask an actual scientist!
In this panel, Dr. Stephen Granade methodically tackles every aspect of the construction, power and operation of a giant robot; and at the same time, he sprinkles some science-facts-sand over our dreams of getting to pilot one of these guys by week's end.

One of the signature events at DragonCon is its Parade on Peachtree street.
No other convention that we have attended has a parade like this and since is held on the streets of Downtown Atlanta, anybody can pick a place on the sidewalk and enjoy the plethora of costumes, cars and props ranging from Middle-Earth to Netherworld, from Star Wars to Star Trek and from Doctor Who to the Avengers and everything in between.
You can watch the entire Parade here.
