I just discovered a simple technique today for doing odd brick width SNOT, thus getting around the 2 in the 5:2 rule. I couldn't think of having seen it before so maybe it is new (although it seems unlikely). Anyway, I thought I'd share it since I (...)

(...) Marco, you were correct. It was the rotational part of the joints that caused the collapse. Once I switched the joints around, they held the weight. I also added a shock to the downward joint to limit how far the joint can expand. There still (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The vertical-launch system between the smokethrowers is also amazing--a detail I may try to develop further at some point. Also, I meant "LAMPS/sensor turrets", seeing that the chin and dorsal units are the same... LFB (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

You might try making a joint that only moves laterally at the hip (like with 2x2 turntables), and has a fixed minimum downward angle (like with click hinges that are wedged on the upper side to a fixed angle - they can bend down, but not up past a (...)
