(...) Thanks Kyle, I'd have to agree with you on the cockpit piece, but I gotta build stuff that doesn't use it so my Mechs don't all look the same. I especially liked how you incorporated it into your quad mech. Keep on building! -Jon (19 years ago, 25-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) By that logic, humans would not be able to walk either. A tripedal unit could throw itself off balance, lift a leg, and catch itself in a more forward position--or balance itself on two legs before lifting a leg. I'm not claiming it's (...)

(...) Very nifty. There's lots to like about this, but the problem i have with it is that a tripedal mecha in this configuration would never be able to actually walk. In order to do that it needs to be able to lift at least one leg in the air, which (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)
