Bobby, The answer for me lies in what I like to build. I have no interest in making a six foot tall mecha. Most builders create at a level they are comfortable. For me the scale I build has a lot to do with the types of joints I am using. Gravity (...) (23 years ago, 7-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
