I was under the impression that Kevin's supply of pnuematics were around 100
pistons and switches.
I have a small hand full of the new types and less than a dozen of the old type.
IMHO, that's why I orriginally wanted to create the Leg truss mechanically using
my parts as I can cover that presumably. Having 10 of more limbs with multiple
pistons and switches is a tall order. However, I would love to see how Kevin
would build the Scorpion legs pnematically. I could help in what ever way
possible.
However, we could divide the Legs into 3 and each of us could attempt to build a
set , there by shareing the load. Or we could ask for help from Lego, so long as
we use the project to raise awareness and promote advanced building techniques
that should be made public for all to use as a tool. Then maybe we could ask for
help. Our commitment must be solid to ask for assistance.
thoughts?

I heard the space, castle, and train guys are going to give us all their
robotics elements. Or was that my inside voice?
Actually the RTL guys gab to much, let's take theirs, (gut jab....)
lol! If they take an interest in the overall community, maybe we'll give them
back...later much later.... j/k mode: off.
:p
