| (...) There was something that seemed a little off about the upper body in the previous version, and your latest mods fixed it. Now it looks a lot like a Neumann mech (which is a good thing). Maybe I'll try out some worm gears in my next mech.    (20 years ago, 8-Aug-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
