Greg, thanks for the constructive criticism. It was plain to see that you
put some thought into your commentary. You gave me a good deal of praise,
and a few good-natured blasts. I thought I would take a moment to respond.

> gray ones) i noticed they look a little loose (considering the pieces you
> used), and if not, how did you not make it loose?
-They are loose, but it doesn't trouble me. They were a last-minute add-on,
and I think they look cool, even if they are not as stiff as I would like.
> Do the mechs stay still, one magnet isnt much power?
-They stay relatively still, but the click-hinge retaining arms hold them
tightly in place. The magnet is plenty strong.
> the missile launchers are kinda wimpy
-I think you may be right on this one. Mabye another row or two. I didn't
want them to be obstructed by the big gun.
> the small mech is sorda.. lame.
-What can I say... I'm not that thrilled with the leg design, but other
than that I think they are good for what they are supposed to be:
super-light mechs that can be easily transported. I looked at your
brickshelf gallery for inspiration, and what can I say... its bionicle
> the design is kinda boring, like a big block.

> i whipped up this in like a minute, just a sketch of what could improve it
-sorry, I can't comment on this one, I'm sure its better than my design, but
the link doesn't seem to work... I agree that the side-on view is boxy, but
there were certain interior space requirements that I was working with.
Maybe a rebuild would improve it.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave your comments.
-Keith
