In other words, how long do you wait to throw your mech off the third
floor?(just kidding)

I know Bryce and Eric keep all of their mechs alive, but I'm wondering about
the rest of you. I usually destroy mine as soon as I need parts from it. Of
course I try to avoid doing that, but unless it's neccesary, then I don't
bust em' up.

Depends.  If I really, really like it, and have perfected it, it has/will
stay around.  If not, Bye-Bye it goes!

So far, my pellet guns and my gladiator I mech hold the record for longest
life. Pellet guns being about a month and a half, and my gladiator mech
being just over a month now.(and still going!) Gladiator isn't entirely
intact I must say though. I'm about two weeks now with my latest mech which
you haven't seen yet, only because I've been tweaking him constantly. I have
a over abundance of ten creations (planes, spacecraft you name it) that I'm
looking forward to sharing tommorow, and consequently, I'm plum out of pieces!

LMK. C'y'all

The number of parts is always an issue.  If any of my creations take a lot
of rare pieces, I'll enter it into CAD and then scrap it.  If it uses parts
that I can easily buy or obtain from friends, I'll keep it togther.

I'll often keep a creation togther, but temporaily take parts away from it.
That happened today, when I ran out of 2x2 tiles.
