It's very hard to move. The suit itself is around 40-50 lbs, and it is very limiting. It is literally impossible to sit down and bend over. The dart game was mostly for laughs, but I had a hell of a hard time. The helmet itself cuts off all up/down vision, and when I threw the dart, I had to throw my body weight along with it to get it to the dartboard.
It's also very hot. I can only be in it for about an hour before I dehydrate. Thankfully, I had more then one person come up to me giving me an ice cold water, complete with straw, as another limitation of the suit, you cannot bend the arms up enough to drink out of a glass.
I'm guessing with the helmet and chin brace your probally couldnt get the glass up close enough either. But that suit looks great, must have takel a hell of a long time to get it together. And if you think that is restrictive, you should try a Borg Suit...
Here's a mug of me, not the best quality, but all I could find was this one from my photography class (did all the developing my self, was a Black and White pic). Then after I got it scanned had to use the comp to add the color and resize.
Heres the pic (enlarged from orignal):
Oh, and here's the negative (image, not the actual negative for obvious reasons) just incase your interested:

What material did you construct that out of? You must have quite a bit of skill with quite a few tools to have pulled off something like that.
That fella in orange shirt? That's my boss. Being a boss means you can have a lady on each arm... he's a traitor too. But that's a whole different story...
Uhm, lines? Yeah, I did not forget about that...
Actually I'm looking for a decent spot with no/little ambient humm/street noise/neighbours who get irritated easily. I'll check out my office space after hours.
