LOL! Yeah, but I think in space it'd be pretty easy to do (due to zero-g). ;-)

Hmmm... Yeah, but I sorta like the level of articulation my mecha have. I've
tried several times to add more articulation to my mecha, but the click hinges
proved too weak. I just gave up after a while. My mecha pack a lot of heat
(i.e. weapons), and thus have to carry a lot of weight. I'm far more concerned
with stability than anything else when it comes to joints. The main thing I
look for in mecha is design. I figure, if I can make a neat looking mecha, and
get it to stand, I've done a good job.
Also, no matter how strong joints are, they cannot support mecha that are
several inches tall, and weigh a hefty bit. Take your mecha for example, sure
they got all them highly movable, strong joints, but can you pose your mecha in
any other position besides standing?
Maybe I'll start thinking more about articulation when I get those new joints
from that Super Battle Droid set, but even then I doubt I'll be successful in
creating more dynamic poses.
