Would anyone be able to offer some simple hints on how to build a stronger Lego frame, or how to increase pulling ability (such as gearing, which motors to use, how many motors)? I would also like information on pendulum style suspensions. I am now (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general, lugnet.modelteam)

I just came across this site (URL) it caught my interest. I just wanted to know if this competition is still alive. I wanted to try building a pulling machine to compete. If it is, could someone clarify the rules? 1. What do you mean by a gearbox? (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.general, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) The ballast rigg is supported by wheels so than can bear heavy weights. (URL) suppose you use 20 x 30 technic wheels? Would it be possible to raise the ballast rigg or may the crane be unbalanced then? Big challange!! Dennis Bosman (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)

(...) The main problem with an all axle boom is that it can take almost no tension. This means for a long boom it bends under its own weight when horizontal. ROSCO (22 years ago, 1-Apr-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.modelteam)
