Hello,
I was recently at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago and in the
green stairwell they have a display of mechanisms that modify rotational
movement. I took pics of them all and I thought folks might like to see them.
There are descriptions with each, but I couldn't get them in the picture very
well. I hope they inspire somebody as much as they did me!

P.S. they have a Mindstorms workshop you can do there, about 40 minutes long,
but I skipped it as there was too much else to see. What an amazing place,
it's worth it's own 2-day vacation to Chicago. Add another day or two to
swing over to the Field Museum (home of Sue the T-Rex). For any dinosaur fans
out there I was hoping to see the Jobaria Tigedensis mounts that Paul Sereno
did, but they weren't anywhere that I could find.

| Those mechanisms are great! Is anyone here aware of a online library(s) of similar type mechanical devices? Cheers, LINC "Elijah Meeker" <lego-robotics@crynwr.com> wrote in message news:01072309144203....ldomain... (...) (23 years ago, 24-Jul-01, to lugnet.robotics)

| I have just returned from Brickfest 2001 which was a GREAT event. Thanks to the WAMALUG folks for putting on such a well organized and interesting weekend.
