(...) Well, in the setup now, it's the blue tubes that present the limit. I think it'll go four with the current setup until they bend away and a block falls out of the gaps between tubes. I'm gonna have to reinforce the tubes (which are easy to (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jan-01, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I like Robs too. Thought your premise is looking pretty good! It appears that we all appreciated the double tires grabbing and throwing the block up ;) I incorporated something similar in my (soon to be done) 'bot because the grabber arm I (...)

(...) That was the plan, but it's a little more insidious than that. :( It's not just the floor plane, it's the alignment in the other plane-ie, it's if a block hops into the wheels (ie, being bumped by another block behind it, or being bumped by an (...)
