On one hand it is sad that the train heads will not soon be bantering in this news group with drivel of mountain clearance height, 3 wide or 10 wide, or just how many (...)

(...) I don't see it as too hard to build a mechanism that grips just the axle (rubber bands around the pincers for example) but I'm sure sooner or later someone will try building a proof of concept and realize how incredibly hard it might be (...)

(...) We are, of course, "conveniently" ignoring MY robot. :) (...) Well, I have an idea that should fit within the 12 inch rule. Dave, remember that Chris said "fits within a 1' cube". This means that your robot could be up to ~20 inches long (only (...) (23 years ago, 29-Mar-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)

(...) I apologize again! I swear my IR control of your robot was a complete accident. We used to be a lot better about that sort of thing back in the rtl3/4/5 timeframe, people would yell like "fire in the hole" before using any IR downloading. But (...)
