btw, what was your first mecha venture?

Recently I ventured into the Mecha construction field yet again, and have produced a four-legger which I am very proud of. (URL) are two flaws with the DAT. I could not correcly align the technic springs with the legs, so they appear slightly (...) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
