Well, technically, 360° twist only means that it can go 360° around, then stop. People just usually associate that with the ability to continuously spin around, but if you consider all of the cabling in the waist of a robot, that may or may not be the actual case depending on how it is designed.

common examples of complete 360 turns without having to go back, your steering wheel only stopped by the linkage of the front tires there is two rings with a brush that rides on them to transfer electric energy to the horn button, any electrical motor, a backhoe.

Can't wait for the youtube video

I'm going to slap an LRM20 in mine, even though it doesn't have missile ports. That's how awesome the Urbie is: IT TRANSCENDS ITS PROGRAMMING

Not my thing, but I'd love to let someone else do it.

[Drake67]

still would like to see the 68 and the r80 and the IIC Variants added.

Hey!
I've noticed how passionate everyone seems to be about the Urbanmech...

So I thought I'd share something with you!

I love the flat head on the CE, but I don't know if that will be the prevailing opinion by release.

Is it april yet?!

Greetings Tina welcome to the boards my first question for you... is it possible you can do this for future mechs so we can give the art team feedback on our concerns about how they will be play in game?

urbie is looking great so far thanks for posting the images.

Please send me a copy of the .cga/.cgf files and the 4096x4096 texture maps for the Urbanmech please. I want to make him DANCE!

(And all the rest when you have time!)

I notice this is Tina's second post on the forums. It's good to know that she knows EXACTLY which part of the player base to cater towards.

Holy crap you are my new best friend. This has already been linked to from the Reddit, and that's how I found it.

Really excited that the alternate geometry ACTUALLY LOOKS NICE! Some effort apparently went into it, unlike what we've seen so far for the Panther and Enforcer. =P

I certainly hope that the urbie is capable of being more accurate than storm troopers...
