I've been looking at klapaucius' (sp?) gundam models (obscenely impressive,
I must say.) and a thought struck me. has anybody tried using technic 32166
pieces (the throwbot gearbox pieces) to build joints for large scale mecha?
it seems to me that they are almost perfectly suited to the task. you may
now poke holes in my logic to your heart's content. :-)

(...) Well, I don't have any of those pieces, but it looks like it might would work for locking joints. Then again you could probably accomplish the same thing with regular gears... (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Actually, Bryce Mcglone's wonderful serpent mech utilizes those in its legs; he also used them extensively in his gorilla looking mech. -Christopher (24 years ago, 1-May-01, to lugnet.build.mecha)
