first off, I love this micro bot stuff. I highly doubt that people using technic bricks would disapprove of the microbots considering the furious amount of momentum all the builders involved have achieved. Not too mention the dialouge that they have (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)

I've been trying to build a realistic, articulate, 4-wheel drive chassis. This is the best I've done so far. I had to stop at this point because the drive train I'd integrated was too stressed to power. I won't have time to do anymore for a while, (...) (21 years ago, 6-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic)
