Eric: Or you'll just have to wait for my Documentry. It is in progress. Dave: Neat! See, now THAT's different :) It's not every day you get to see a documentry on Lego builders. Is it destined for airing? Eric: Like I said, way to blow off people's (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Joint technology is what sets mecha building apart from other styles. Eric does what he does well. His gearing and joint tech change with each model. If you don't notice the changes in how the legs spread apart, or how he incorporates a new technic (...) (20 years ago, 12-Jan-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Not so. Greeblings and SNOT work are both directly related to style and design. Articulation is more about the mechanics, and while it can effect design, it isn't the focus of design.
