(...) That ROCKS! The oil-cans-connected-to-the-elbow is so ingenious! The overall bot looks kinda like a mix of the 'Iron Giant' & 'Bender' from Futurama in a cool little package. Great job! Jeff (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

So I've been working on various wormgear combinations over the past week or so, and I came up with something that might be of use to folks: (URL) like the technic geared turntables, but they are a bit big. So I thought it would be nice to have a (...) (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha) !

(...) Sweet! I really like the way you concealed the worm gear joints in the legs. I guess I couldn't tell before whether or not worm gears were used in you model - I would have been a little disppointed if they weren't ;-) Later, Chris (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

This is IML-01, known as Immel (in Asimovian tradition). He was built out of my Iron Mecha leftover parts and ideas. (URL) Let me know what you think! Derek (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.announce.moc, FTX) !!

Here are some more WIP photos. I seem to be posting the most (I thought that was the idea), anyway I hope no one minds. Again, My Mecha is going to be complete symmetric. I always think multi-legged Mecha should be symmetrical that way they can move (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.org.us.cedarlug, FTX)
