(...) Thanks Eric! (...) Sure! (...) I just ordered up 20 small pistons to make one that is faster. I should add head and tail. I wonder if a tail and a head can be articulated so I can reduce foot side. (...) Thanks Eric. (...) Very cool Eric! (...)

(...) Yes it does, but without the 2x4s, your boom will be able to shear - ie the parallelogram created by the beams & 1x4 plates only has friction holding it square, and a long boom built that way may fail. If the 1x4s are on the top/bottom it (...) (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) And of course how you created the zap effect. I can quite easily create the fireball (I did a smaller version in my film Glowing Orbs) but the lightning stumps me. You didn't draw each part by hand, did you?! ~Mike (21 years ago, 27-Nov-03, to lugnet.animation, lugnet.technic.bionicle)
