NOTES:

NAME: Whatever it is called.
CREATED BY: Who, in RL, came up with the idea.
CLASS: Size and classification of mecha.   Includes Powersuit, Power  
       Armor, Mecha, Giant Mecha, and BFM.
       Power Suit: Basically, worn as clothing.  Examples include  
                   HardSuits, Iron Man, and MI armor.
       Power Armor: 1.5-2x Human size.  Examples: Power Loader, 
                    Bahamode, and SHIELD Mandroids. 
       Mecha: 20-75 ft.  Examples include Veritechs, Transformers[tm],    
              and most Battlemechs.
       Giant Mecha: Skyscraper sized.  Examples include Mazinger, Red 
                    Ronin, and Megazord.
       BFM: Things like Unicron and Spaceball 1. :)
CONTROL SYSTEM: Feedback, Voice-Activated, Cybernetic, Electro-
                mechanical, Autonomous.
POWER SOURCE: Anything ranging from steam to Casimir vacuum flux.
ENGINES: [optional] Jets, rockets, and/or warp nacelles.
MODES: Transformations the mecha is capable of.  This includes standby 
       modes and "clothes" illusions.
PERFORMANCE: Pretty self-explanatory, SEA and VACUUM are optional.
OFFENSIVE SYSTEMS: Directed energy, Projectile, and Melee.
   DIRECTED ENERGY: Can be beam or pulse, electromagnetic, sonic, or  	  
      particle[ionic, antimatter, etc.]
   PROJECTILE: Guided, Unguided, or Self-returning.  The difference 
      between a projectile and a particle beam is fuzzy, but if you can   
      see it with the naked eye, and pick it up, it's probably a   
      projectile.  Self-returning projectiles often involve slicing 
      damage [see below]
   Melee: Any hand-held weapon.  Can be flexible or straight, matter or 
          energy.  Possible damage types include slicing, piercing 
          crushing, and entangling.
   DP: A table of effects as it relates to Damage Potential.

       I.   Capable of stunning an average human momentarily.
            No physical damage.
       II.  Capable of rendering an average human unconscious for about 
            an hour. Mild physical damage.
       III. Capable of rendering an average human unconscious for 
            several hours.  Possible permanent damage.
       IV.  Kills average human being.
       V.   Can penetrate a brick wall.
       VI.  Can take out a tank.
       VII. Can take out a battleship.
       IX.  Can penetrate energy shielding.
       X.   Can take out a starship.
       XI.  Can take out a planet.
       XII. Target?  What target?

DEFENSIVE SYSTEMS: Armor, Force-Fields [continous and point defense] 
                   and/or anti missle weaponry [the latter is usually  
                   listed as offensive as well].
MISCELLANEOUS: Cloaks, Enviromental systems, communication systems, etc.     
NOTES: Everything else.
