| I woul just like to ask to have a link put up in the inspirational site link for .mecha. It has seemed to rekindle my love affair for mechs (not mechas :) ) These were done by the amateur artist Pawel Czarmecki and i believe them to be IMHO the (...)

| (...) Jeff, that's pretty cool. I wonder what would happen if you put a 2x2 cylinder brick: [LDrawPart 3941:15] inside of a couple 1x4x1 arches: [LDrawPart 3659:15:2] Is that possible with some SNOT to hold the arches together? --Todd (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.space, FTX)

| (...) You have no need to apoligize. Your way of understanding is completely valid and brings to light many new ideas way outside the scope of my thinking and that of many others, I'm sure. I believe I do understand your explaination. So, it makes (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| <snip> (...) You don't get very good speed control. I'd think that using the small range between completely off and completely on for one of the ports of a switch would be a better speed control. In the parially on state, you'd get constricted flow. (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| (...) Soren, This thing is dang spiffy. The amount of detailing you packed in there is superb. I think I've only seen a Fuchi once but I'm pretty sure you captured the aesthetic to a -chi (ok, bad joke). I too really like the tubing frame and use of (...)

| (...) Soren, great fuchi... I would even go as far as saying that this is one of the best ones I have seen here. I love the hands. Great one! I also noticed that redo of the SAFS you posted, nice one also. Later. (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| Fuch-tastic, Soren! An excellent little scrambler in it's own right, but the use of those levers with the doubled up lever bases over the shaft in the feet just solved a problem I've been having on another project....many thanks to you sir! This is (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha)

| (...) Thanks. (...) Correct. (...) Right ;^) (...) Yes, you can reverse the engine on the fly. It doesn't take much to make the engine not run. It takes a quarter turn of the case to get from ideal forward to ideal backward. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| | | | | Re: Fuchi Fuchi!

| (...) Well, I have to say mecha aren't much my thing (least of all Fuchi's), but yours is a work of art! Your detailing is uber. What's the little black bit connecting the hose pieces on the front-top-middle? Is it a short piece of stiff tubing, or (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)
| | | | | Re: Variable Speed, reversible pneumatic engine

Its amazing how far you have been able to take the analogy between pneumatics and electronics. But, I kept (...) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)

| (...) Wow, that's a great design for a reversible and variable speed pneumatic engine. An ingenious use of the differential gear, too. And not to fret about correctness of the explanation. If it works, it must be correct ;-) (21 years ago, 5-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.build)
