Thanks Dave. t-bot arms are cool- I still use them some (they're great for
chicken walker types), but have you tried using the ball joints found in
some of the bionicle sets yet?

Later,
Todd

Sure! here's two pics that show off their use:

The pair of orange and grey legs in the very back make use of them as hip
joints. Hopefully that model will be finished soon. Also, the scorpion mecha in
front uses them for every leg. I should have pics for this one up tomorrow. I'll
get a close-up for you.

My Taurus mecha uses them for the 'arms' of the mecha. I love the idea of guns
that can swivel, and this works well to achieve that. In case you were
wondering, they plug into a 1x2 brick with axlehole quite well....
