Hey Rosco! I would say the the terms "Mech" and Mecha" are the same except for the sytle of the Robot in question. Mark Nuemann put it best by saying : Mechs are lumbering giant war machines with grease and oil stains. Mecha are beautiful sculpted (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Mark Neumann has a very good explanation on his page: (URL) = anything here: (URL) = (URL) a mech is more like Battletech, with a large, bulky profile while mecha are usually more sleek in comparison. I'm guessing that the plural form of "mech" (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Sorry for the slow reply, but here's a 2 claw hand I built a while back. It's worm gear driven so it's fairly strong. There's an LDRAW DAT file that show how it went together HTH, JSM (URL) Sophie <mylegomaster@cs.com> wrote in message (...) (22 years ago, 15-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

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.
