Lenny,
I am sincere. I love your style. As a newbie to Mech and bots, your work is
so vast that I cannot comprehend it all. You have to realize in my mind, a
joint is a round gear with a worm to hold it in place. However, your joints
run the gambit.
Thanks for all the new ideas.

This is totally funny to me - because my joint tech work has been motivated by a
desire to avoid technic pieces at all costs. Basically, I refuse to do worm-gear
joints because I think they are too difficult.
Mr.Ham is maybe my most successful in
this line - he has so much articulation and I did it all with bars and snot
pieces.
But then, I’m looking at my bots - and
almost all of them use the click hinges, or the old-style hinges for most of
their articulation. The exceptions are
Mr.Ham and
Terror 3vilbot - the Terror Bot
relies a lot on a snot brick with a tile on either side, as seen
here. I really like this
style, and I’ve meant to do another Bot with the same tech.
If you like my style of bots, then I recommend you check out Tim Deering’s
stuff and Mino’s
stuff.
Thanks for the kind words! I personally feel like I don’t deserve them - I tend
to be more of a popularizer than an innovator, but I won’t argue with someone
who likes me ;o)
