Wow, Rick.
I gotta say, that was quite an experience--I hit the link and my senses were
presented with what must be the oddest looking piece of mecha I've ever seen
'round these parts. The boat bow bricks really give it a surreal sort of
angularity--when looking at it, I get this feeling that LEGO "just shouldn't be
able to do that." The black and white colour scheme probably fuels a lot of
that too--I kept thinking of that old Michael Keaton movie, "Beetlejuice."
(Although as someone else has mentioned it could also be a Dr. Seussesque(?)
contraption.) I'd love to see a shot of the underside, to see how the mechanism
is constructed--I'm really impressed that it holds up the vehicle so well, and
with such functionality! What's more, I had to really struggle to make out
where the BURPS would be, which is a testament to how well you've integrated
all of those components. Now you've got me eager to break out my own bow
bricks! :) Darn this exam all to heck!
