When I attach a triangle mesh to a box object as a limb and try to rotate the image the triangle limbs disappear for 180 degrees of the rotation. I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. Please help.

It's because triangles are only viewable from one side.

You need to turn off what is called 'Culling'. ( use Set Object, or Set Object Cull for that ).

Pretty much, when a face ( triangle ) is facing AWAY from the camera, it isn't drawn, because typically, on a normal model, you wouldn't be able to see it due to the other faces on the NEAREST side obstructing your view.
