Ooh - snakes head? that would be an interesting mecha, maybe you could
still pursue building one with that goal in mind. Maybe taking on

look for a snake...
I know exactly how designs can evolve as you build them, but
sometimes, I like to store some of the earlier concepts for another
shot at hitting them again later..
