Deep in the heart of Biomechanical Bricks, a new Mecha has been created:
The Rizmit
Construction Notes
- 37 inches tall
- All Technic Frame
- Technic Turntables at the major joints
- Two Movie Maker Cameras in the eyes - Planned to be used as Vision Sensors.
- This Sentry Mecha will command Jama as it watches my movements.
- Built as a re-incarnation of the Red Robot.
- Based on the Macro Bot’s joint tech placement.
- Double jointed spine.

You all had something to do with this creation, I thank you.
Right now The Rizmit
is on display at the Lego Store at the Paramus Park Mall in New Jersey. Then
I’ll bring it home for more photography. Then there is that darn peice that fell
of of the upper leg....shhhh don’t look. I’ll fix it.
As for the Mecha, I love it. It can sit, crawl, and be posed into a variety of
positions. More pics comming soon. Yay new Mecha for 2004. Back in the saddle as
they say.
The Rizmit
Enjoy!
PLMKWYT!

| (...) Wow - Looks awesome Eric! I love the look of the red on gray (old gray!). It's also cool to see how you constructed the technic frame and then added the panels. Can't wait to see more! -mark (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| (...) Wow, Eric. The mecha looks great. One of the things that really jumps out at me is the way you've used slopes all over the body to decrease a possible pixelated look. It gives the whole mecha a very flowing, smooth look. I have a feeling that (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

| Excellent work Eric. As always, I'm boggled by all the mechanical/electrical systems you put into your 'bots, so I guess I focus on, and appreciate, the actual 'design' solutions a bit more. In particular, the V-shaped waist area lends a bold (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-04, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
