Adrian,
Thanks for the kind words, and for the reference on your site.
Excellent work on the pod!  I had actually spent a bit of time thinking
about how to do that particular pod, but I wasn't coming up with any ideas
for the energy couplings.
Keep building...


Yeah, that was by far the toughest thing to get on this construction.  I
swear I stared at those two light saber blades for what seemed like an
eternity (okay, maybe half an hour) until I came up with that solution.
Originally it was going to be rubber bands, but that just didn't seem that
elegent.

What's the next mini pod racer going to be?  :)

Oh, if I get the chance, I might ldraw this so that you can add it to your
minipodracer render.  That ought to look pretty cool.

I couldn't resist the urge to build something tiny (thanks for the
inspiration, Joel and Greg).  Here's Ben Quadrinaros' 4 engine pod in mini
form.  Enjoy!

(...) Too bad there's no X shaped blade. heh (...) I can think of a few others vaguely, but none are as cool as Quadrinaros and Sebulba's pods. The ol' PC game Pod Racer had them all, AFAICR. -Greg "Fox" Cook (22 years ago, 11-Jan-03, to lugnet.starwars)
