Thanks guys, I guess when I say that my Mechs are non-violent it seems kinda
contradictory when I make them with long Claws, Natural adatations. I built
RG as a release from building the Big-Mech-bot. The big mech bot is so
complicated and hard to build that I wanted to make somthing fun and
somthing easy. I wanted to use parts from the Big bag of Red I have. Plus
the Mech bot is going to take another 2 or 3 years to complete, I won't have
anything else until it's completed, and nothing to interact with you guys.
So I built RG. I did'nt take it's construction to serious. It is was it is.
Fun ,easy , and fast. No heavy duty joint studies, no spending extra money.
So I ended up with no thumbs and legs that don't move very much. I have some
ideas about a larger RG style mech built with Grey. Better legs and maybe a
full set of digits.

I enjoy your stories to a point Bryan, I just did't state how RG was just an
excersize in fun. Now you know. What's a thumbless Mech to do?!!!!

Thanks again......
