    It took me all day —David Koudys

        Re: It took me all day —Jeff Elliott

        Re: It took me all day —Jeff Elliott
    AAA...AAA! I'm a monster :( (URL) was wondering why the jaws weren't responding :( I'm sorry Dave, it's a very, very cool bot... you can drop by & beat me if you wish. Jeff E (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
   
        Re: It took me all day —David Koudys

     (...) I'm re-evaluating the grabbing mechanism this weekend... but I'm not home so it'll prob'ly be monday before I get it on the 'bot. I just used the same grabber mechanism I used in my block stacking 'bot many moons ago, but it appears not to (...) (22 years ago, 24-Aug-02, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto)
    
         Re: It took me all day —Larry Pieniazek
     (...) Indeed. I tried to unstick it just now but no luck. It will rotate a little bit but won't move. Jaws work. The old NASA trick of shaking the jeepers out of it to see if it will break free didn't work. Can you post (or refresh memory of) some (...)

   (...) Thanks for looking Ivan--I was home for a bit whilst you were logged in--that was me writing all those notes :) THe problem with the grabber arm is there's not alotta room, and using the 16 teeth 45 degree gears, is that they sit right on the (...)
