(...) <snip> So I've been doing a little building this week, and have come up with a few ideas. I figured quite a few people would be using those exoforce/knight's kingdom joints, and I wanted to do something a little more challenging: (2 URLs) I've (...)

(...) That looks awesome Chris. Recently, I've been looking over your (URL) BS joint tech folder> for ideas. You're the only builder I know who has dedicated himself to creating compact geared joints. Hopefully, one day I will incorporate some of (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Thanks! I've always suspected that the main .mecha worm gear builders were exploiting the gears to create the largest mecha the gears could support. After playing with a teknomeka frame, I discovered that there is a huge amount of articulation (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Oh, I thought about doing a gear driven Mecha but then I realized that I only had a month to complete the project. Awesome start. Good luck! (...)

That new anti slop technique is great! Nice and compact. I didn't notice those knobby things weren't an "even" height. Technic has inexplicable oddities. (I'd still like to know why the worm gears are too short in the first place. It's a subtle (...) (18 years ago, 6-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) You got me thinking a lot about anti slop techniques after checking out your ankle joint on Teknomeka. I used to just chop up technic corrugated tubing to eliminate slop in worm gears...but Sophie would call that cheating...so I've decided to (...) (18 years ago, 14-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Some more progress pics (after moderation): (URL) frame 1> (URL) frame 2> The black frame was hijacked for a future bipedal project, so I built this frame after an order of 20 worm gears came in from Pitsco.

Great articulation. Everything is wormed. It should be able to do some unusual poses that not even the one in the example picture could do, since its legs look like they just have the equivalent of a ball joint at the hip. I like how you did the (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
