(...) Very cool Steve... I can also atest the turn radius will stink since I did the same mod to the red tow truck set last year.

We've been playing around with Rock Crawlers for a while, so I finally put up a web page with a bunch of pictures and descriptions on it. (URL) addition to my Rock Crawler (and a link to John's trucks), about half way down the page, there are (...) (17 years ago, 19-Jan-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

Anyone want to get together this weekend and try out Rock Crawlers? I'm thinking sometime on Sunday. If Bryan or Brian want to attend, we can make it earlier in the day. Otherwise, later so the Phillips can attend. Or both. Thoughts? Steve (17 years ago, 17-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) 'cause I like building robots with brick-plate-plate-brick studded construction. And I like the ability to have 10 motors in 1 bot using 1 RCX.

(...) Who needs an NXT??? I am using an RC buggy remote. Question: If you guys in RTL Toronto build robots as you said, then why on earth don't you have an NXT already? (Check with Calum...I hear he has an NXT that he isn't using) :) B (17 years ago, 10-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)
