(...) I think it would be cool to create a scorpion. Of course, they have eight legs, and they should move as four sets of two (not two sets of four). Oh, and you know what would be cool? Make it remote control-able. hmm. I have some ideas. You guys (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.technic, FTX)
