(...) The trick won't be building but getting my camera back from repairs in time to photograph the bugger. Anyways, I'll toss in my two bricks. James (who wonders if he'll get LEGO at christmas again!) (19 years ago, 21-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

I am throwing this quick post in. I was contacted by another of our magnificent builders, Tuomas "TheQ" Kukkamaa. He wishes to join in the fun and is having difficulties with Lugnet. Will the other competitors tremble in fear or will they stand up (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha)

(...) Very cool Marco! The yellow could be toned down in places, but otherwise the colour scheme is alright. Perhaps you could substitute the yellow for a third colour in some places. Maybe a dark grey, or even a white. I dunno... I'm just amazed (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, FTX)

(...) Hi Eric, I actually intended that the inherent backlash in the z16s was exploited to turn them in a little after the positioning. You could replace my z16s with two z24s and a z8, making one of the z24s a clutch gear so you could turn them (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)

Hey Danny, thats interesting. You may be on to something. I'm wondering, when a corrective tension is added (turning the opposing gear) the center of the axle will twist. Also, because the two drives are linked with z16's, when you turn one, the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Dec-05, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.technic)

(...) I've done a similar solution however: I put 2 worm gears on 1 40t gear. One on top and one on the bottom. My intent was to counter the slipping that happens under severe loads.
