Sorry to here about this! I think I speak for all the frequent .mecha
readers too. I was really eager to see this bad boy walk around! But you do
what you have to do to meet your artistic vision. I understand some
sacrifices must be made. On an up note, the self posing theory sounds very
promising! Maybe instead of walking, the Jama can do a little dance like
those stupid Santa toys that shimmy and shake his rump to 'Rockin' Around
the Christmas Tree.' That would be hillarious!

Hey gang, after I built the intial Hex Truss, I started to build one of the

The robust design was more on the scale of the Super Mech-Bot rather than
Jama's which is suppossed to be one scale down in size.

So after much internal debate I decided to go bipedal after all.
This means it probably won't walk autonomously, but rather will have the
capability to mechanically pose it'self via motors. I just want to finish it
and make it as graceful looking as possible. I don't want to drag out it's
construction or make it look funny by ignoring the size of the design
constraints I impossed when I built the upper body.

Before I take apart what I did manage to make of the Hex Truss, I snapped a
couple of pix so you folks could see what I mean.

Gahhh that would be funny! What song do you want it to "Jama" to! ;) I thought about Stevie Wonder's song "Mama Jama"!!! LOL! On the up note, the Hex design study will prove vauable when I use the technique on the Super Mech-Bot, yeah!! Then we'll (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-02, to lugnet.build.mecha)
