(...) *smirk* Well, since the legs really aren't particularly mobile, and this mech won't be jumping much, I'll likely just cost it as if it were a tank, as that's basically what it is.

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. I came up with a similar solution using the pins and beams you mentioned but you went way past that. I love how lanky (...) (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Nice mecha! However, why does the "Emu" have such large legs, and yet has such a small upper "body"? As for the new technique, it's been here since, Ron & Randy, Karim Nassar, Me, and many, many other mecha builders. Again, nice mecha! (...)

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 (...)

Yeah, another spider mech. My Kobold needed an adversary, and thus, was born the Black Widow. Check it out on the mecha page at: www.brickfrenzy.com Adrian (24 years ago, 24-Aug-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
