Thanks to being burned out with my sculptures after finishing Geoffrey, I
decided I needed a change of pace.  With all these origami mecha bouncing
around, I decided I'd give it a try.  I needed a different color though, as
most of the other normal colors had been used, so I decided to see what sort
of a mech I could build using almost exclusively orange bricks.  The Kierbis
is the result.  It's entirely orange, except for the hinges.  Take a look.

This is certainly a nice design, a uniqoe design, and certainly a good
design for a small mecha but the orange, especially if you added some white
pieces, screams 'Go Vols."  I live in Tennessee, need I say more, Adrian?  I
believe that the Volunteers are a very overstated team but then again, this
is mecha, not a discussion site for college football.  The truth is, I like
your mecha, I just wish that you would make a red mecha but the harnesses
may not be in the color red so hence you are stuck with the orange pieces.

I think the point was the availability of orange pieces. Orange isn't as
widely available as green for instance. It makes building a challenge when a
rare color is featured prominently. The challenge seems to be the point and
Adrian has done a *VERY* good job. It makes me want to try my hand at it.

I guess I should have never brought annoying college football arguements into this place but I do like the design of the mecha. I just wish that you could design more (...)
