here’s a mech I made with only the pieces in designer set 4100 Maximum wheels-I started with the head & decided to try to builkd a mech for it, an make it as poseable as possible with the pices in the set. I used a lot of basic stud-friction joints (semi-stiff; was tricky getting it to stand without the hip, knee or especially ankle not cooperating) & found good use for the bricks-with-technic-pins, besides putting wheels on them. the overall robot pics didn’t seem to come out as good as thought, i’ll try for better ones later (the detail ones seem good enough:
