Hi all, I'm looking for a couple dozen of the longer (12, 14, and 16 stud) black technic beams. If anyone has a couple or a couple dozen that they'd like to sell I'd be interested in speaking further with them. Thanks, Zac Pollock (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)

So if you need a 1, 1.5 & 2ms pulse for controlling a servo and you said the low setting in NQC = a 1ms pulse, are there other matching motor speed settings to get a 1.5 or 2ms pulse? (...) Joel Shafer joel@connect.net (25 years ago, 15-Dec-99, to lugnet.robotics)
