(...) AAAAAAAHHHHHHH! Don't remind me...... I spent 4 - 5 hrs trying to get my EAOT (the three fingered one) to work, using a differential.... why is it that the new dif's don't mesh with a 24 tooh crown gear... they mesh.. .but the center of the (...)

(...) I saw somewhere someone chopped the annoying centre protrusion off a crown wheel to get this to work - can't remember where off-hand. I prefer the old diffs anyway 8?) ROSCO (23 years ago, 11-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) That's a great idea! Think I'll try that (tho I have 2 old diffs and 6 new ones...) But for this 'bot competition, no modified bricks at all :( (rules and all that) Tho if it's this situation, I don't know why we can't bend the rules but that (...)

(...) Was it perhaps this post (to lugnet.robotics): (URL) don't think the person says anything about modifying his parts, but in one of the pictures one can clearly see a crown gear driving a new-style diff. Maybe older crown gears didnt have that (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

Ooops! Sorry! Didn't know you had to 'fess up to a teeny weeny bit of modification in a MOC ;) Yeah, I'm one of a few, it seems, who like to do what the Lego designers do - make new parts for new models. So yes, that crown gear has had the boss (...) (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I'd guess he's cut off the centre protusion, and glued a 1/2 bush on the back to make up for the decreased stability. ROSCO (23 years ago, 12-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) So last night, I sat down in front of the mountain of lego... that will take me a good week to resort... I looked at my tri-griper EOAT that I got to grip and run up a 1 x 16 rack... not in the right order of course.... and I decided to start (...) (23 years ago, 13-Feb-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
