| (...) Thanks for the feedback, Brian. The framework underlying the legs probably looks a lot like the bionicle legs on your Kalate OmniDroid--I just attached some bricks with Technic connections, and built the armor cladding from that base, which (...)

| | | | | Re: Soren's School Girl Mech
|
| (...) Soren's work is so far out of my league. As a newbie, it blows my mind. I remember just staring ( wink, wink) at his skank bot. It was so life-like. Now he has another realistic model. I love the thumb tack pictures, it makes them look like (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

The eyes with the squared jaw gives him a really (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Lenny, You are a creative genius. Your mind works in so many different ways, I am amazed. Everyone of your bots are completely different from any other. That kind of creativity is, is, is ... AWESOME. Then we have your joints!!!!! Do you just (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

|
| (...) Kyle, This is a great Mech! I really like the compactness of it. It just has a look of sturdiness and that translates to power. Good job. I really liked the rounded missile bins. I think that is quite inovative to use half a cylinder. It may (...) (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Latest build after a long break!
|
| (...) snip Wow! You've got some great surface textures there, with the variety of parts you used. Great color scheme, too, I like the use of the black for the feet. Very solid and imposing--looks big too. (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Medieval Bot looks like its thinking, "Where's the ball field? I want to play ball!" Either that or, "Chop heads, chop heads..." I love the Silver Squidy. Looks sort of like a fat Cylon. -Jeff (20 years ago, 22-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Soren's School Girl Mech
|
| (...) OOH YEAH! I had a lot of fun learning from Soren's Skank bot when I reverse engineered it, but this one looks like something I might want to keep around to creep my mom out some more! You've captured the look perfectly, as always. It really (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Hello all, Its been quite a while since I've posted here and its been ages since I built anything. Its good to see some of the new builds out there, some truly awsome work! The latest project from D-Bloc, which is nearly completed, is "Gerraint". It (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX) !!
| | | | | Re: Quarterback Passing Efficiency?? -- Hear me out!!
|
| (...) After a night of pondering, I have found more parts that create movement. I have also thought (any suggestions) that we should have a separate speed and strength number. Some parts are faster than their weight or visa versa. Here is the new (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| | | | | Re: Quarterback Passing Efficiency?? -- Hear me out!!

| (...) Okay, so maybe, I am a little interested in this project and Sundays are great relaxing days for me. So I wrote a perl script to calculate the ideal speed and strength variable for each mech type: Humanoid, Reverse Knee and Quad. Here are the (...)

But yeah, when you look at actual military hardware, there aren't any round parts unless there's a specific reason for them to be round, and there's no reason for a missile box to be (...)

But yeah, I'm starting to get into the studless/greebling style. (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| | | | | Re: Quarterback Passing Efficiency?? -- Hear me out!!
|
| (...) Okay, I am back with more information. Speed and Strength ===...=== IMO these two are really inverses of each other. A speedy mech is not strong becuase it lacks the ability to carry enough armor. Now on the other hand a strong mech, because (...) (20 years ago, 21-Feb-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Quarterback Passing Efficiency?? -- Hear me out!!

As I have started to think this through I have determined, IMO, that what we are trying to do is score our Mech/Mecha against the figurative "Perfect" Mech in the areas of Articulation, Speed and Strength (...)
