Another apect I was recently thinking about is where tracks usually cross baseplates. For instance, is it "easier" to get a straight section right next to the edge of a 32x32 baseplate, or six studs away? Or eight? Or... what? Does this always have (...)

More WIP from Me. I am on the final stretch of building. In true "Iron Chef" fashion I have now decided that I am not going to make a Bricklink order to finish my Mecha but I am going to use only pieces that I have. So at the end I realize that I (...)

I still might construct a 6x6 cell version of the board for use with kids (if my robot is easily adaptable. This would probably improve my drop reliability to about 100%... I actually sat and played 23 games without modifying the robot last night. (...) (20 years ago, 10-Jan-06, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Here are some more WIP photos. I seem to be posting the most (I thought that was the idea), anyway I hope no one minds. Again, My Mecha is going to be complete symmetric. I always think multi-legged Mecha should be symmetrical that way they can move (...) (20 years ago, 9-Jan-06, to lugnet.build.mecha, lugnet.org.us.cedarlug, FTX)

(...) I'm planning on line following (probably with Trellis again - I've yet to radically improve the design, I might need to start from scratch) and the Maze (because I *know* I can do better than my one other attempt).

(...) We need to remind Kerby to also vote "no"... :) (...) Not a problem. We understand why you made the decision. :) (...) And, you know, also. (...) Much better.
