I should have been working on my robot tonight, but I got SO excited when I found out about a new kind of Funitel, called a Funifor. There's only one in the world, 2 more coming in 2006. So I built one. (2 URLs) for the rest of they luxirious (...) (20 years ago, 14-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I built a sumo robot for BrickFest '04. Oh, sorry, that's right, can't mention sumo on this channel. Ok, I built a vanilla robot that happened to use two RC motors.

they are IIRC, high speed. Has anyone used them as a drive motor in a robot? (AND dave if you tell me about your babrie doll car I will mock you) did you gear them?

I'm going to build a module which will just store up all the balls, moving them around within the module, but never letting them out. Then, it will paint all the balls blue. Iain (20 years ago, 13-Jan-05, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
