At some point they simply have to go ahead and do it.. (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.military)

| Hi, This is a small mech I made some months ago and only now got the chance to photograph (new digicam - woohoo!). It's heinously unstable, and won't balance in many poses, but it's got all the important articualtion points. (URL) Brickshelf Folder> (...)

| (...) Yep, but to get the joint strength, you'll need to re-inforce the sides of the cylinder brick. Solution: switch to an r2-d2 body instead like so: (2 URLs) This way, not only do you have your joint, but you have SNOT wherever you need it. It's (...)

| I woul just like to ask to have a link put up in the inspirational site link for .mecha. It has seemed to rekindle my love affair for mechs (not mechas :) ) These were done by the amateur artist Pawel Czarmecki and i believe them to be IMHO the (...)

| (...) Jeff, that's pretty cool. I wonder what would happen if you put a 2x2 cylinder brick: [LDrawPart 3941:15] inside of a couple 1x4x1 arches: [LDrawPart 3659:15:2] Is that possible with some SNOT to hold the arches together? --Todd (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

In the parially on state, you'd get constricted flow. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)
