  Build-a-Bot
 
Hey all, any suggestions for these instructions? Or are they ok as is. Build-a-Bot (URL) (22 years ago, 30-Jul-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
Let me say this: if you can't build a similar bot with these instructions, then you shouldn't be building with Lego. -- Thanx~ Nicole (URL) Sophie" <mylegomaster@cs.com> wrote in message news:H035r8.81E@lugnet.com... (...) (22 years ago, 31-Jul-02, to lugnet.inst)

(...) At first glance, the instructions look great! I think it was very smart to take the photos on the gray baseplate to better help with placement. Good work! Jake --- LEGO Enthusiast Webmaster - BI Portal (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
Thanks! That's sounds like an interesting program. Cool deal. Hey Luke, what do you think of the REAL Piano Henry Lim is building! Plus, when he's done, we're gonna be able to hear a real musical score played on a real Lego Musical Instrument! I'll (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
Yes, I agree, I should have listened to Chris Smith when he was encouraging me to learn how. Plus, I know Tobbe said he already did the head, but I'm not sure when he'll finish. If anyone wants to make LDRAW / MLCAD etc... Please be my guest! I (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
Jake, that would make me so happy, for the one who hosts links to many building instructions, I would be honored to see you Build-a-Bot. Building a Little Bot is much more than just making one, holding it in your hands, feeling the weight of the (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
I can't wait to hear it! In fact, what I REALLY want to do is to play it :) Short of that, it'll be interesting to see what sort of setup he's got in the piano. The tensile forces of the strings are fairly extreme and to stabilize it with legos must (...) (22 years ago, 1-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Build-a-Bot
 
Firstly, I want to clarify that I'm building a harpsichord, not a piano. (The harpsichord is a predecessor to the piano). The tension of the 61 strings on my LEGO harpsichord is about 325 lbs. The tension of over 200 strings on a piano is about (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)

Oh yes, later I realized I didn't say Harpsicord, rather I said Piano, which is incorrect. Wow, this is really gonna be something, this really is a highlight in the world of AFOL and high Art to be sure. all the best, Legomaster (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)

(...) guitars, but now I'm thinking I want to build one for *ME*! Aside from the pegs, did you need to glue anywhere else to withstand string tension? -John BTW, is your harpsichord a Steineway? ;-D (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Music to my ears! (was: Re: Build-a-Bot)
 
So far, other than melting the holes for the tuning pegs, I haven't used any glue. Apart from that and the strings, it's all LEGO. Currently, I'm testing the reliability of the tuning. It's been holding quite well... -Henry (...) (22 years ago, 2-Aug-02, to lugnet.inst)
