| (...) I started a Half-Life 2 mod two years ago called Block Party. Search the lugnet.gaming newsgroup for its older name, LEGOLAND, and you'll find the other posts about it. (URL) Look for a (very) limited release in a few weeks. -Jordan Bradford (19 years ago, 29-Aug-05, to lugnet.gaming, FTX)

| What's funny is the other day I was thinking of building a marble machine with LEGO. After reading about this contraption system, I got super-motivated and built myself a ball pump last night. I only spent a few hours on it, but I think I have it (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

| | Re: Avoiding motor stalls
|
| Jordon, Its hard to say for sure, but it looks like you are losing torque in the gear conversions. The clutch is a good idea, but will still strain the motor when it comes to crunch time. There are two things that I can think of to help you. 1 - (...) (19 years ago, 9-Jul-05, to lugnet.robotics)

| I got a 4512 Cargo Train yesterday. It's my second train set, and I really like it. It derails on tight curves, though, but then you wouldn't expect a cargo train to be flying down the track anyway. I noticed while building the engine that it was (...)
