Very nifty. There’s lots to like about this, but the problem i have with it is
that a tripedal mecha in this configuration would never be able to actually
walk. In order to do that it needs to be able to lift at least one leg in the
air, which it could never do. Add a leg, and you’ll have something both neat
and logical.

By that logic, humans would not be able to walk either. A tripedal unit could
throw itself off balance, lift a leg, and catch itself in a more forward
position--or balance itself on two legs before lifting a leg.
I’m not claiming it’s efficient but it’s certainly possible
Nifty design. I like the overall design and the color scheme--but a different
background color might have made the photos a bit better.

| (...) Thanks, Peter, I'm still working on my photography. :) I agree with you , that movement for the T.A.U. would be far from efficient (that's why it's a LONG range fire support mech...LOL)! Thanks for your comments! -Jon (19 years ago, 23-Jul-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
