| Holy Shnikies! That mech is huge! And awesome to boot! I really like the arthropod-ish look to it, and I really like that its design is nothing like any of your other mecha. (Nothing negative, but most of them look exactly alike.) Do more! Greg "For (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| (...) Ah! That makes sense. I guess it wouldn't be too safe to fire your gun if every time you did it you rolled backward like tumbleweed. You might be in trouble for desert or beach combat, though! 8^) Dave! (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Thanks Dave! Yes the feet are meant to pierce the ground, this way the mecha is more stable when firing shells from the rail gun. Right now, when I place the mecha on a carpet it sinks in only 1 cm, but off course carpet and real-world terrain are (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) leg/foot design of this mecha in particular; how well would those small feet do at full-scale on real terrain? For the probable weight of such a vehicle they seem likely to pierce the ground--is this a factor to consider in design? I don't (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Thanks Brian! Actually those yellow things are auto-cannons, if I was making smoke ejectors they would be way shorter. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

| Thanks Kyle! Actually the mecha is quite stable on most, non-slick surfaces such as carpet, paper, and etc. However it does begin to slip and fall on very slick surfaces, such as a kitchen table. (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)

Those yellow tubes pointing in several angles are generally called "smoke ejectors" when you see them on tanks - creates a smoke screen to hide tactical maneuvers. I'd hate to see this thing (...)

| Yea! Mass-destruction at it's greatest! Does it support it's weight well or does it fall after 2 minutes (My mecha have been know to do this...) BTW The pictures suck!

| Thanks Bryce! It is about a foot tall, I guess. My inspiration was just to build a really large 6 legged mecha, but inspiration also came from Masamune Shirow; ever seen Appleseed the anime, notice that big Mobile Platform mecha at the end... I can (...) (24 years ago, 29-Dec-00, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space)
