thanks. I used joint desgns that I found here:
http://www.cs.ndsu.nodak.edu/~pratt/lego/designs.html (although my wrist is
a bit different, the pieces into which the "fingers" are plugged are topped
with a 2x1 with center stud, which is attached to the back of a 1x1
headlight brick. I couldn't find the right pieces to do it the way it's
shown on the webpage.)

Well done, Anthony. A real positive effort in the face of tragedy. And the • mech
ain't bad, either. I like seeing it roam around the detritus of your • workspace.

The Bloodhound is designed for rescue operations where there is a high
probability of survivors. it's body is studded with lighting systems,
enabling it to navigate even the darkest caverns, be they natural or
man-made. it's shins are heavily armored, allowing it to wade through
wreckage, when necessary. on theis right forearm are mounted
two-narrow-spread, High intensity lamps. a wide-cone lamp is mounted to • the
left forearm. recessed into the shins are low-intensity general
illuminators, designed to light the area immediately surrounding the
bloodhound. on it's right shoulder is a long range sensor cluster, • capable
of scanning across almost the entire electromagnetic spectrum. the
retractable antena allows the Bloodhound to relay information directly • to a
command vehicle or hospital, even through kilometers of dense rock. it's
most powerful tool, however, is the ultra-sonar pole it carries. capable • of
penetrating any material denser than water, the pole can identify human
bodies, living or otherwise, through up to 300 meters of solid concrete.
