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!
