I cant find any of the .robotic threads anywhere.... OK, wait. Let me just put on my tin foil hat... (adjusting) umm, OK I think I see what happened. Ross !!! What the heck did you just do? Admit it, this is some sort of subtle attack right? First (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) You dont have to index your EOAT to meet with the TO's. you can fix your EOAT to ONE T.O. and have a mobile base that spins. like say, a syncro drive or maybe a... oh i dont know... a killough platform. I need to make my shooting device (...) (19 years ago, 24-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I've got to get back to this. I've been sorting my now dismantled Train6 layout. I did 5 1200 tubs filled to the brim with brick and plate on the weekend. I'm so bug eyed right now.

(...) In my mind, I see a block shooter like Dereks, but smaller, set on a turret. then you have up to 7 TO's to shoot out of. Chris (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) Who says you have to have a EOAT that lives out side 7 TO's??? Why cant you use a EOAT that "shoot" through one of YOUR TO's? now you have all this space INSIDE 6 or 7 TO's? ;) Chris (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I think the issue with using 7 is that there's no room outside the preimeter for the EOAT for transferring the blocks. when I use 6 TO's, the 'diameter' is 9 and a half inches, leaving me 2 and a half inches in which to build the EOAT. At (...) (19 years ago, 23-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

How many Transfer Opening will you be planing on putting in your bot? The maximum you can fit in 12" is 7. Im building/built a killough Platform. NOW I have to make it autonomous.
