(...) I'm not sure how he did the 4x4 plate either, unless he drilled it. I made this turntable and used a 2x2 round plate. Worked like a charm. -Brian (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) I think it's actually a 2x2 round plate in the center, with four 2x2 corner plates surrounding it. It's a bit hard to tell from the photo though. -Elroy (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Great Job! But I had trouble with the top. There appear to be four 4 x 4 plates that fit over the small turntable and are wedged against the axle so as to form a surface that spins with the axle. When I try this, the plates do not fit. Are (...) (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha)

Humbles himself before the genius that is Klaupicus once again. :) Excellent job, Brian. The wormgear solution is pretty amazing. I'm very curious to see how you come up with the leg armor. Take care, -Dave (19 years ago, 11-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Hey, you're the master builder--why don't you tell me? Oh wait, you did. ;) You're right, that's the part. I only had two of them, though, so that's the real reason why the rear legs are different from the front... Derek (19 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

Very Impressive! The oilcan/elbow is ingenious but what really strikes me is the use of the aquazone mask. Very well done. This is one of my fav small bots in some time.

It may be difficult to see how that came to be this but I swear they are almost identical structurally. I still don't know what to do about that weird pod thing on the left arm.
