To tell you the truth, the only things I go by when I'm building 4+ legged "beasts" is the shape of the bricks and how they interact with each other to form cool joints and shapes (a good example is my "Gorilla"). And it's also because I have a (...) (24 years ago, 23-Jun-00, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha)

Thanks Bram. Actually it is quite sturdy, I can even position it in various (okay, limited...) poses, but FYI, yes it does stand by itself.

(...) I've used two of the little pumps in conjunction with two Air Tanks.
