He doesn't need to swing his legs back and forth since: a) He won't be
walking and b) I don't plan to make him sit down. My Hardygun mecha utilizes
the same construction, which is enough to move the legs around a bit for
interesting action poses. It doesn't allow universal movement, but I don't
require universal movement. The more movement you design into your mecha,
the less stable they are, and tend to fall over. So I decide what amount of
movement is required and then design for that. :^)
