First, never bring a motorized MOC to LEGO diner...
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hr-W5NKsUzg
Someone’ll modify your creation to do something it wasn’t designed for, but is
way totally cooler than anyone thoguht!
What else...
Oh, in the latest installment of the ‘let’s make things move on the layout’, I
wanted to do some sort of gantry repair/build ‘bot.
I also wanted to make it ‘fit into’ classic space motif. I used the long legs,
though--those weren’t out until the next year. Eh, I won’t tell if you don’t.
And the moving test--
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJ2Zh8B8s6A
It was the proof of concept. My original idea was to use string and do this
really fancy XY plotter printer thing so the EOAT mechanism would move across
the gantry as well, but that got waaaay too big too quickly--wanted the
repair/building ‘bot to look like it fits into the environment.
So there you are.
Working on it--update with more pics and movies when I have ‘em

Snipped, well now Im double bummed I missed dinner!
Looking great Dave, cant wait to see the full layout.
P.S. My “new and improved” Micro Layout is ready (3 by 6 baseplates), and my van
is back from the repair shop,.... so as long as no other disasters happen from
now to then, I will be at the spring show, with my layout.
More than likely I will show up the night before, to set up, (but that doesnt
mean you have to show), I just hate doing setup early in the morn, especially
with fiddly bit... when Im still groggy.

I wouldn’t be--bunch of LEGO geeks talking about all things LEGO--who’d want to
hang out in that environment????
Waittaminit....

Trying to figure out how to get these 3 bricks/1 plate high animated sections
and the rest of the layout on the same level without humping lots of train
modules around...

Any crash you can (sort of) walk away from... I’m so happy you’re okay
| |
so as long as no other disasters happen
from now to then,
|
Don’t jinx it!

Woot!

Oh I think I’ll be there to see Doug and folks and make sure everythings
copasetic. Y’know, in my entire life I’ve never had to spell copacetic so I
dunno if that’s right... eh.

I just hate doing setup early in the morn, especially

|
Too much partying the night before, I’d imagine :p

so summary--
dinner missed you as well, glad your van’s back, glad you’re good, looking
forward to seeing you and your stuff on the weekend and above all STAY SAFE!!!

Great job.

Smile, I see both posted... double the fun, and thanks.
As for the grade difference, couldnt you just surround the raised areas with
slopes or bricks to simulate graters?
See you in a few weeks.

Sparky's Space' And oh wait! I own it. And oh wait! I'm the administrator of
it and can do whatever I want to it without going through some one else's
system...

I could but my grey brick collectoin is pretty limited.
I’ll try a few things now that you’ve inspired me.

I think the only thing that would make that gantry nicer is blue rail
rather than boring old grey. Classic space liked blue. I have lots
of blue rail....want any?
