Hi, I've been talking to a new-to-internet Lego fan, Michael (kwee.1@osu.edu), who is thrilled at the concept of people getting together and playing with and talking about Lego. So he wants to know when the next one is. I am willing to host one, but (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.loc.us.oh.col)

I hope someone can help me with this I tried most of the weekend to try and build a mechanism to grab an item (49.6x28 VR wheel) and lift it using one new type motor (the ones in the RIS). All my attempts seem to either self destruct or just didn't (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

I used a crown gear on my steering which tends to skip with some ease protecting the model. It also makes a lot of noise to get your attention. Poor engineering , but it works! Have a look. (URL) Fay Matthew Miller <mattdm@mattdm.org> wrote in (...) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Accually, if you need 5 RCXs, just get 5 RIS. then get some sensors and kits to expanded your lego supply. I know a teacher in my current high school that did that. KGB AgEnT #4 OUT AKA Clint Rutkas -- Did you check the web site first?: (URL) (25 years ago, 9-Aug-99, to lugnet.robotics)
