Comments on Lrry-1 Fire-Breathing, Riding MechaDog Video
You'll need to look at the video before you decide what this thing really is; from the Mutoid Waste Company. (Read
the complete story)
| "I'm fascinated by the idea of a vehicle that has legs in the front and wheels in the back. In terms of Lrry-1, I don't know how much pulling power the legs actually have, but I'm wondering if the model is workable. If you think about it, Lrry-1 is like a man pulling a two-wheel cart, which sounds like a millennia-old model to me; it must have some sort of efficiency associated with it." (Bill Christensen 12/13/2008 6:44:00 AM) |
| "Or it could be one-half of a "Chevaline", (robot horse) a popular form of transport with the "Neo-Victorians" from Stephenson's "Diamond Age"." (AJ Dual 12/14/2008 7:36:46 AM) |
| "AJ - I should have thought of that. See the reference for the Chevaline from Neal Stephenson's 1995 novel The Diamond Age. This novel has about 27 different technovelgy items associated with it." (Bill Christensen 12/14/2008 5:20:31 PM) |
| "as the creator of LRRY-1, I'm always surprised when people label it as a dog based creature.he is half horse or ox,and half raptor. as for pulling power, I've had a 2 axle trailer weighing over a ton behind him!" (Lyle Rowell 1/4/2009 9:11:31 AM) |
| "If anyone could make something like this work..it would be lyle Rowell. Remember that old convertable we drove up to Penticton that year..nice work Lyle " (Ian Rudkin 7/23/2009 3:05:01 PM) |
