Deep in the heart of Biomechanical Bricks, a new Mecha has been created:
The Rizmit
Construction Notes
- 37 inches tall
- All Technic Frame
- Technic Turntables at the major joints
- Two Movie Maker Cameras in the eyes - Planned to be used as Vision Sensors.
- This Sentry Mecha will command Jama as it watches my movements.
- Built as a re-incarnation of the Red Robot.
- Based on the Macro Bot’s joint tech placement.
- Double jointed spine.

You all had something to do with this creation, I thank you.
Right now The
Rizmit is on display at the Lego Store at the Paramus Park Mall in New
Jersey. Then I’ll bring it home for more photography. Then there is that
darn peice that fell of of the upper leg....shhhh don’t look. I’ll fix it.
As for the Mecha, I love it. It can sit, crawl, and be posed into a variety
of positions. More pics comming soon. Yay new Mecha for 2004. Back in the
saddle as they say.
The Rizmit
Enjoy!
PLMKWYT!

i am truly awestruck!!! this is your best humanoid mecha, yet! it’s got a more
organic feel than your previous ones and a LOT more detail. the likes: the
optimus prime “matrix” chest, of course (coincidence or not?), the arms, legs
and chest showing better proportions and more curves, and let’s not forget the
toes--they rock! i also dig the technic frame, or as i call it, the
“endoskeleton.” the dislikes: head seems a bit too big and insectile for my
taste, but that’s it! i love this thing! forgive me, but the form is WAY
better than quiljox’s or jama’s, but then again, you did have to incorporate
motors, rcxs, etc. in jama. think i’ll go back and check it out again!

| (...) Hey JC, thanks for the feedback. I tried to build the cameras into the head and with the M-tron canopy the proportions were hard to keep small. Still the mecha frame was a triumph. cool deal, thanks. e (21 years ago, 9-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
