Well thats about the sum of things, tell me what you think of my choices

     What Jacob has expressed in a single post is no different than what
many of us have done throughout the course of several posts. Those of us who
are longtime participants in this forum should have pretty good idea of
where we stand as mecha designers from the collective feedback of our peers.
Would we post our creations here if we didn't want to know what people
thought of our work? I think not. And Jacob has not necessarily condemned
certain individuals creations by excluding them from his list. He has his
preferences like anyone else.
     If anything worthwhile develops from this thread, perhaps it should be
a discussion of individual values in Lego mecha design. For example, do you
want your mecha to just look good or do you want it to have a degree of play
value? Can your mecha stand and hold a variety of poses? Do you consider
yourself as a Lego artist or a toy/model designer? What are your preferred
hinge elements-friction pins, clipping elements, ball & socket joints, click
hinges,etc.? Do you ask yourself if your mecha would be viable as an
official Lego model. What construction techniques do you consider
legitimate? I'd really like to see such an exchange of perspectives.

Later,
Todd
