Yes, I spent quite a bit of time picking up things testing thge capabilities.
The coolest thing I did was pick up a Technic Fig and pass it from one hand
to the other and place it down again. I picked up battery boxes and other
odd stuff. I tried to get it to pick up an empty Bionicle canister, but it
was too slippery. I may need to add a couple more rubberbands to help get a
better grip.

Also, since I am (or was) at the design stage, I kept the Arms bare of any
detail so I could evaluate the preformance. Now that I am confident that the
arms work, I can pile some cool details on it.

Sultan of Stack!!!! hahahahahahahaha

Beleive me I'm concerned about how big this this is gonna be.
Trouble is if it gets to big I may end up making just a scuplture, problem
with that is that I promised someone I'd intergrate a side Kick out in the
hips. I fear the wieght be drive me to the sculpture aspect and not include
alot of Leg functionality. But.... I have been thinking of making a six
legged structure like the RG Mech so that the Jamocklaquat will actually
walk on a Tripod and be functional from head to toe.

Sears for 10 bucks a month? Maybe you could swing one, I really want to see
the stuff you come up with. If you can't take pictures, I'd be interested in
hearing some descriptions of your Mecha.

Hey, BTW, I always appreciate getting replies from you, where do you live
abouts?


Take care,

Legomaster

My best creation, so far, is based on a lot of other stuff i have seen around. the ankles a ball joints and the feet are Armored Core meets Robotech kind of a thing, the legs are roughly copied (when i say roughly, i mean look nothing alike) from (...)
