I am not that familiar with mecha, in the sense that I don't seem to have a
natural feel for what is mecha and what is robotic.
With that in mind, firstly, do mecha have to have human style anatomy at the
gross level, ie; arms with hands with fingers, or do they have "effectors"?
I'd always wondered if you couldn't come up with a "cylindrical" hand,
perhaps attached using a technic turntable with a center pull/push mechanism
which opens and closes the "rosette" of fingers.
or,
If it must be humaniod, I have always eyed the Technic control cable as a
possible "tendon" which might string along the underside of jointed fingers
which could be pulled to curl the finger (against a straightening force
supplied by a rubber band for example).
Well that's it.
For all I know, this is probably all robotics talk ;)
So what is mecha?

| Hey John! (...) I would say that they are the same except the word Mecha is used to describe a more ornate futuristic cousin of current day Robotics. (...) Good observation, it could be any of the above. (...) oooooohhhh clever, "rosette" of fingers (...) (22 years ago, 13-Jul-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
