| (...) My understanding they mean the same thing, the usage depends on the story context. In Patlabor, the mechs are actually called 'labors' (Patlabor is short for 'Patrol Labor'). Since there are so many mech universes, I think just about anything (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
| | | | | Mech grammar
|
| OK, you builders of mecha. I'm the first to admit I know nothing about them, but I was just wanting to appease my enquiring mind. After reading quite a few posts here, I've seen "mech" and "mecha" used almost interchangeably. I always thought "mech" (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Witness this BricksWest 2002 picture (URL)- I had just turned my back after adjusting my mecha so it would be ready to show off during day two of the mecha sessions. I heard a 'pop' (...)

| Great Job to both of you! Eric, I love the model and keep pouring over the pictures on Brickshelf. Mark, I've loved the site since the day you put it up and now you're featuring models on it! Very Cool! -Dave (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.build.contests, lugnet.technic.bionicle, lugnet.general)

| (...) Eric, you can thank your adoring public for the honor. I recieved more requests for the Skittles Squad to be MotW than any other mecha creation. Two of the emails said they wanted to nominate you because of the 'build-a-bot' gallery you set (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

|
| Ok, here's what I came up with. It's a three finger claw deal, offshoot tech from the Super Mech-Bot. I like it. Dual z24 single Worm Gear drive in the center of the hand acuates the fingers. The Mechanical hinged fingers feature a multiplexed (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.robotics)

| I hear ya, everytime somthing like that happens to me, I humor myself and say: Oh well at least I know how to put it together better, it's like I memorized it. Frustrating and Learning. Eric (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(URL) belive you came really close to making a perfect copy and I would love to see a second, even better, version of this mecha. I think that you can (...)

| I am not that familiar with mecha, in the sense that I don't seem to have a natural feel for what is mecha and what is robotic. With that in mind, firstly, do mecha have to have human style anatomy at the gross level, ie; arms with hands with (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Hey Mike! Thanks for not taking it the wrong way, trust me, I'm not into telling people what to do. I'm gald your willing to reconsider the name.

| Great advice from the DR.!!!! You see through to the quandry. A purely mechanical claw hand would detract from the form I am attempting to create.
