(...) Do you mean simple steering, or something ever more advanced? You can probably achieve steering by articulating the body, between the two pairs of legs. Fredrik (26 years ago, 7-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)

has anyone made a four legged walker that can walk round corners yet? I have been experimenting with my cats, to see how they do it, but is looks incredibly compex. I even had my girlfriend wallking up and down the floor, to see how two legged (...) (26 years ago, 6-Nov-98, to lugnet.build)

| | Gothic tracery idea
|
|
Hi all, Last week I was thinking about ways to get convincing Gothic tracery without making a huge window. I hit upon the idea to rotate the wall plane 90 degrees and then use 1xn plates to create the tracery. The idea worked out very well, but it (...) (26 years ago, 22-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yes, 2 softer ones and this 1 stiffer type. (...) I don't quite remember how 8858 was different. The 8865 system would make sense, as it will allow for any large-enough-diameter tire, rather than the 8880 specialty - which is of course not (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

|
In 8428/32 (Cool Car/Turbo Command) there is a single small shock absorber in the suspension-lowering 'toggle switch' mechanism. Its grey part is actually dark grey, and the spring has fewer windings (~4 instead of ~6) and is much stiffer. Is this (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

| | Re: Reason 5H bricks are good
|

(...) I could see that. Also, the smoothness of the 5H bricks (fewer inter-brick lines) would increase the asthetic appeal of skyscraper models. My big problem with 5H bricks is when they give the illusion of solid construction. Without adequate (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)

(...) Yes. (...) I've often thought that those taller bricks would be cool to use in big structures, like some of the big skyscraper/office building types. That, IMO, neither limits creativity nor violates integrity (or purism). It only does so when (...) (26 years ago, 20-Jan-99, to lugnet.build)
