Ummm, Iain, this is what I have been saying all along!!!!
why try to make it light, when you can just add more motors!!!!
i use 4 motors just to move the main X axis. as long as the rcx powered
I've had NO problems.
ALSO on another subject:
IAIN, I have a question. 2 day ago my robot was 90% done. I had it
all working, AND I'd like to point out that when it placed a block it
was DEAD CENTER!!!!! BUT my question is this. when I ran several
tests the robot worked fine. One day, my brother came over and i
thought I'd show off the robot. It crashed, and skipped, and ground
gears. it FAILED as a x robot!!! I re-jigged everything, my brother
left, and i re-ran sever tests. the robot worked fine.
MY neighbor came over (Alex who also likes lego) and I tried to show him
my robot. IT FAILED again.
Iain, My question to you as a professional robot builder is, WHY????
does this happen to anyone else? Dose this happen in the real world??
help?

| WHEE! So concepts 1, 2, 3, and four have ALL FAILED for me. Everything always ends up being too lightweight or too flimsy. Result? SCREW LIGHTWEIGHT FAST THINGS. I have now created the largest robot I've ever built. It's totally redundantly strong. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Jan-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
