You did a really good job at bulking up those thro bot pieces! Ive been wrestling with this one for a while for various creations.

Nice mecha! However, why does the "Emu" have such large legs, and yet has such a small upper "body"?

After recently aquiring several 2x1 two-hole and 1x1 beam bricks from LEGO S@H, as well as several 1x4 grill mounting plates and 3' friction pins, I've developed a new technique for adding badly needed "studded bulk" to the throwbot limbs in my (...)
