Funny Facts


Razor is surprisingly playable! If, the temperature is 78°F, humidity 10% and you are in separate rooms and don’t breathe. Z24 gears allow for too much movement to be stable.

Torque




Let’s talk about torque. Those parts are connected via an axle to the hips. It should only be offset by 90 degrees.



This shows how much play is in the z24 gears. When I took off the arms and missiles this is the angle at which Razor wanted to stand.

Thanks

Thanks to every one that has given me input on my other Mechs. I especially want to thank Mark Neumann for the behind the scenes help. Mark suggested I think that a Mech is “A platform with legs”. A thanks goes to Eric Sophie for sparking my curiosity in Mech building.

Please note: This is my first, z24 Mech. I am looking for as much constructive criticism as possible. All suggestions and upgrades will be featured in the z40 model (Have any missiles you want to share?).

Thank you,

Brian PLMKWYT

P.s. If I have missed anyone on the credits please let me know.

(...) Hello Brian, pardon me for being late. I was not at home for a week. But now I saw what you did! Great, nothing more.
