 | | A question about BrikWars robots
|
|
I've got a question about walking robots. When calculating speed and jumping power, do you use the power rating of the robot (torso) or the combined rating of the legs. Thus far, I've been using the torso rating for normal movement and the combined (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Paolo was kind enough to check into Sourceforge my changes to implement idle powerdown. The default is 15 minutes of idle time (no programs running, no buttons pressed, no LNP activity) before automatically turning itself off. BTW, in my previous (...)

Whenever I use the RV supp to make a robot, it seems to go about 30+" / turn. I have to tone this down by about 1/2 to make it reasonable (ground stuff should not go as fast as flyers). For jumping, your idea seems reasonable. Jason (...) jumping (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.gaming)

Thanks Jeff! Really cool! But I can't find the .OCX link Some questions: Have you run 2 CLabs from one PC? from one application? that would proivide 16 INs/16 OUTs! Also have you pulsed the trains via the CLab, the speed control granularity is (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.trains)

Thanks! The grey pieces came from 6339 Shuttle Launch Pad and I guess a few Y-Wings. I intend to make a few more of these things as time goes by. Just got a new job, however, so it may be a while until time is free again. L'8er! Randy Michael Firman (...) (26 years ago, 15-Aug-00, to lugnet.build)
