I was playing around with my Scout and using a microscout as a third motor using
the VLL and fibre optics. It has limited use due to the length restrictions of
the fibre optic cable and the microscout motor is not the easiest to use or
mount.
I have often played around with two motors connected by a LEGO wire. One motor
acts as a generator that powers the other motor. Why not use that set up in
conjunction with the Scout/Microscout setup? Parts Needed:
The Microscout motor and a geared motor mate perfectly.
The final mating. A bit Frankenstein-ish but it works. A little plate top and
bottom makes a strong connection (omitted for clarity)
The third motor can now be placed anywhere in the model and you gain a little
versatility at the cost of a bit of power (possibly) lost in the transfer of
power from motor-to-motor-to-motor.
Interesting possibilities. I think it could also be used with Code Pilot to run
an additional motor if I’m not mistaken. I don’t own one so I can’t test it.
Thought I would share.
