    The face of things to come —Bryce McGlone
   I just posted a pic of my new mecha. I'm borrowing a good digital camera Monday so I should have more pictures in a week or so. (URL) McGlone (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     (...) work. The guy can build some GREAT mechas -- perhaps the best so far on lugnet, certainly amongst the best. I like Blue's fingers, btw. I myself have been working on some Mecha hands, but that unveiling will have to wait for a bit. Kudos. -- (...) (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     Hi Bryce, I see you're using double throwbot limbs at the shoulders. Does that work well? How much weight does it support? Looking forward to seeing more. ~Mark "Muffin Head" Sandlin (24 years ago, 28-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

The bummer is that now I get to compete with you for pieces :-) Oh and one last thing...Ninja swords!!! I need 14. Please call. Bryce McGlone (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

     (...) Thanks. THat's one of the after effects of being a teacher. I finally learned to articulate well. ;-) (...) Heh! You already were competing with me in that area. I wonder if there are enough Throwbots to satify our needs? ;-) (...) 14?!?! (...) (24 years ago, 29-Oct-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)
