(...) One thing you need to consider is that the LoM mecha have their center of gravity almost directly above the click-hinges. They also don't really put very much weight on the joints themselves.

I'm messing around with a two-legged walker design vaguely similar to the AT-ST. This is my first real experience with large mecha, and I seem to have made it too heavy for the click hinges to worm properly - it'll stand up (barely) but if it's (...) (24 years ago, 3-Jan-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
