Biomechanical Bricks

Noooo! I really loved that mech as well. it had real potential, and AFAIK is the first full size humanoid Lego robot (I dont count waving Legoland ones). Granted the programming and ai would have needed the same kind of skill the engineering took, and a few more years to get there - but it really (as a design) has huge potential.

Yes it fell down and went boom. Don’t worry, I just booked a show for Jama in the local town square. I’ll get the robot back together.

Thank you for the kind words too. I always felt the hips and upper leg sections needed to be refined. Other than the relative fragility of the head the entire Robot is rock solid and the preformance is one of the excellently cool things about it. I have observed that after many hours of use, the mechanical sections need to be “tuned up”. Meaning the the drive axles and rotating parts get compressed and slow preformance. Things like gears and bushings need to be reset so they spin freely. The lateral forces along the axles cause the components to bunch up causing friction.

In some places, it is a big job to tune up.

In the midst of the rumble, on the white pillar, I founnd a clone 1x1 brick that somehow made its way in to Jama during construction. It got past me and my sorting bots. So now because it fell, I found the bad bad brick hiding in my REAL LEGO Robot. Like Jama cast out the bad, or it went on self destruct or something. (see the picture and the 1x1 on the pillar)

As always, thank you for your support and kind words.

K should write a story about the casting out of said clone brick. What does a robot do when it realizes it does not like one of its parts?
