Okay, fine, you're not whining. But I still think a contest should be a little
more than "Eric, I challenge you to build what I build better than me." I like
the design, and most of my experience is in the 12 inch range; but I like the
idea of trying a completely new scale for me - kind of like and "Iron Chef" for
mecha.
We've all got things to do in our lives - we can't all just build lego mecha all
day, but a challenge should be just that - a CHALLENGE. maybe you can do it,
maybe you can't. But in theory, you should have fun and learn new building
techniques along the way - and most important, have fun!
So, what say you?
Are you up for the challenge?
Eric, man, I don't care what names people call you - defend your building skill.
Win - or lose, whatever. But don't walk away. It's not to entertain Soren or
anything like that - it's for the community. You should throw your hat back in
the ring and say "THIS is how we mecha folk resolve our conflicts - through
competitive building, not name calling."
Let's do this!
