I'm stunned.
My mind is rebooting but can't get a grip, it's. Oh.
NNNNGGGGHH!

Take a break, get some fresh air and come back when you are ready. We will be
here! I know the feeling.

So do I. It would be awesome! If it can work on this planet, it's either Japan
or America. If anyone can do it it's you Eric. I have faith in you and this
project!

That is true.
But what's the most amazing about this creation are the solutions you've done.
Given an infinitive amount of LEGO and time I don't think I could build
anything up to Jama's standard! The forces in that thing must be enourmous. I
have no clue have you managed to get the gears and axles not tearing under the
stress. It's stunning I tell you, insane even - in a good way of course!

Oooh! The possibilites are almost endless. The hard part would be finding a
task that can be done in a reasonable amount of time. It must be rather slow. I
was surprised to see the speed of things in the movies you have so far but
major joints must be a lot slower to handle the weight.

You poured your heart and soul into the creation, and your programming will
breathe life into it as well. Let us all pray you don't write code as well as
you build 'cause if that's the case doom is near at hand. You will invent true
AI, the robot will build more robots with even better mechanics (still all LEGO
though) and multiply. Eventually they will take over all the LEGO plants and
after that the world. The human race would be turned into ABS.
Wait, that's not doom, that's.. Oh! I'm going to be a minifig! (but with my
luch they would probably turn me into Jar Jar's)

Weight?
50" = 127 cm for those who know the metrics system.
Eric. I don't know where to start! I'm not worthy!
My brain is still like frozen yoghurt.
The shear amount of things and size is breathtaking. Then comes the fact it
actually have motors. And good joints. And cool looks. You ARE *the* LEGOMASTER!
Oh.
