Wow!
This is my favorite picture:

Dang! Your use of gearing for the waist area is quite nice.
I must say, these pictures are phenomenal, too. I've always felt that the
pictures of your bots, while cool, didn't begin to relay the genius of your
creations as experienced IRL. By taking photos in high-res mode, and keeping
them somewhat large, I think the viewer has a better chance of understanding
what a Sophie mecha is all about (although still, real life is the best viewing
experience).
The head is just wonderful. I like how you always get polyhedral shapes into
the head, such that the mecha has real dimension.
As for the ball joints, well, I have mixed feelings about them. Obviously, it
worked quite well for you. But I guess part of my fascination with your bots
is the complexity of gearing and mechanisms you use to create joints and
motion. But, hey, there is still a lot of that on this speed suit; and you
finally got the kick-out pose on your bot! (Although, I'm waiting for a more
traditional, Sophie-esque mechanical solution to the kick out problem) ;-)
Cool work, of course!
Later, Chris
