Many great suggestions by others..... I do a lot of mutations. Start out with
something, get and an idea on how to change it, change it. Try something else
throw it out, try again.
Don't expect that it will come out just the way you want the first time. My
first RCX based two legged walker took many many successful failures (about 3
weeks of intense building). I learned a lot about what would not work, which
eventually led me to something that did.
Over time, you will work up a bag of tricks that can make things go faster.
Sometimes you'll come up with revolutionary ideas; new tricks for the trick bag.
Above all, don't be intimidated by the MOCs you think are really hot here. I
guarantee that the really hot ones are not a first MOC, or even a first draft of
a MOC.
Be open minded and try to think about many ways to do the same thing. You may
not use all of them now, but you will probably use them eventually.
