Thanks, Unfortunately, no it can't hold a mini-fig. I didn't really want to build to the minifig scale. That's why you won't find this on the normal Marsbase mecha pages. 8) This tank draws its' inspriation from the FMV of a certain mecha video (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)

In other words how many RCX outputs does it take to drive. Another thing to keep in mind is (...) (22 years ago, 22-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)

The main reason it would make sense to quote the total DOF is that is determines the volume the arm needs or is able to work in. For example imagine a snake-bot with a dozen 2 DOF joints. It can reach around objects to position it's effector. So it (...) (22 years ago, 21-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)
