(...) You should post a few pictures of your clock mechanism. I would really like to see how you incorporated the RCX with the pendulum in your design.

(...) It looks like a Belville part. 5890 has two, one yellow, one white. I've also seen it in a few other sets I think (5808 has one I think, 5895 has one, 3117 has two), 3115 has an even bigger table (which is in two halves). (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.castle)

| | Using an RCX
|
|
Good idea, I have built a prototype pendulum clock using the RCX that has a realistic tick tock sound and swinging pendulum. Instead of weights it uses the RCX to give the pendulum a 'kick' every second, this allows it to run indefinetly. Now I just (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.build)

Correct, the top is open... to allow some access in case there is some trouble with the gear assembly or something. Plus, at 7 feet off the ground, you can't see the top anyway. eric (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.build, lugnet.general)

This is probably not the first time its been mentioned, but I have a complaint about the rounded arches LEGO makes. Has anyone else noticed that the arches with the side plate don't all play well together? The two smaller sizes can be used together (...) (25 years ago, 21-Jan-00, to lugnet.build)
