I thought of building them upwards (wall like) but the bricks are higher then they are wide. So that makes it way more difficult. I could make the "resolution" better but then they would be twice as big. I don't that many bricks (yet).
*edit* Ah wait, you mean building it not with bricks but with plates.....unfortunately, I don't have those

It's only the legs, I tried buiding the whole thing but it just would have gotten to heavy for the motors and legs.
The thing on top is a counterweight btw.
