As a builder myself I have an issue with the concept of this group focusing on
the Japanese "MECHA" concept. In brief, I dont do designs of this type. I do
designs that would more likely be called MECHS. In reality I don't do Mechs
either, I do a variation of them called HERCs or Titans. I also do Flyers and
heavy armored vehicles, but I am concerned most about the walking type Hercs or
Titans.
If this group adopts the focus of the Japanese Human like robot, then what is to
become of the rest? Mechs, Hercs, Moble suits (other than Gundums), those that
have four or more legs, and any others that dont fall into the basic concopt
that is being put forth as "Mecha"? It seems to me that this group should be
about inclusion not exclusion. I already feel excluded enough from this group.
I personally do not post my designs here for several reasons, mostly because i
have my own website of my work. It is a bit out of date because after my father
passed away my heart was no in it. But now I have jumped back in to building. I
also do not physically build designs, I use Ldraw and MLCAD to design and
construct them and then render them in 3D images. Which leads me to another
point about this group. It has, as a general rule, looked down on people like
myself that only do virtual modelling. This is also a reason I do not post my
work here.

| Hey cool! Its Biggs from the Herc Bay! Welcome! Although I must point out: This group shares in all Lego Robot Designs. Mechs, Mecha, Quads, Hexapods, Dropships, what ever.

(sarcasm) Yeah, because, y'know, we have no respect for Mladen's Mobile Platforms, or Mark Neumann's giant Mechs, or Karim's dragon. We just (...)

| Hi Bill! It's good to hear a dissenting opinion, but I'm not certain I agree and here's why: (...) The first mech I ever built was of the chicken walker variety, the second was an ED-209 redub. I love mechs. Many folks around here love mechs. They (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
