I really like this idea. I mean I REALLY like this idea. Some suggestions for
parts:
-Brown Star Wars Ep. I droid fighter wings
-Insectoid legs
-BURPs
-Any Duplo part
-Exploriens cockpits
Basically, any part that I normally shun would be a cool challenge. As a matter
of fact, I think I'm going to go try to build some mecha with these parts
anyway.
*dig dig rattle*
(actually, I already built something with the droid fighter bits a few years
ago, but never posted the pics.)
Regards,
Colin

Bryce would totally win that challenge. All of his mecha are built out of
reject parts. I mean, really - ninja wings?!?
Cool idea, though, I agree...

Yeah, that is typical in Iron Chef.
For this pilot contest, if you will, we are using a graphic to take the place as
the ingredient. Depending on how this contest goes, and if the interest remains
I was thinking of setting up an elimination schedule and using seed parts as the
ingredient. So if this continues, we'd get a roster of participants, they'd be
paired up, each pair would get a part and a month. Then next month, new pairs
and a new part. So on and so forth down to a grand champion. But I thought
that'd be a bit much to start with so I decided to go with this. But gauging on
the popularity of this, I better start hunting for a black suit and a silver
platter.
