 | | FLL at Science Central
|
|
This weekend, I was working on a FLL robot for the Science Central event in a couple weeks. That went well. It's not 100% reliable, because it's hard telling how many atoms are coming off the table, and sometimes the stain-resistant fabric just (...) (17 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Not yet... No train. In fact, all the train track is borrowed from Steve H and Steve's Mom. I've got track on order, but nothing else. Someday maybe I'll buy a train ;) (...) Actually factored that in. At the bottom it is 10-wide, but the top (...) (17 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

(...) Very slick-looking John. It seems odd that one of the neatest attractions in the GBC may be only tangentially related to soccer balls, but that is a very nice design. I especially like the electrical cutouts at both ends. I have to ask, have (...) (17 years ago, 4-Feb-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

I suppose this doesn't have to really be for the GBC only, but that was why I decided to build it. I've been playing with this idea since Brickfest '06 when Steve Hassenplug suggested a way to go in & out of the GBC area without crawling under the (...)

(...) Wow, those guys went all out, they even "towed" one truck with another. Pretty nice. At some times it was hard to tell those were RC and not real trucks. Speaking of this, when is our next get together? Since I missed the last one, I need to (...) (17 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc)

The second set of arms on Mike's robot gives it better mobility. They make its overall tread length much longer, so it can treat stairs like a ramp instead of, well, stairs, and that makes it faster at climbing them. The arms also let it raise the (...)

Seriously, thanks for the kind words, and I'm very happy with it, but now the rest of you know yet another way to try to do it. Go (...)

(...) well, in all honesty I shamelessly implemented a solution I had already known about: PackBot by iRobot. I won't remotely claim the idea originated with me, as it didn't. I was inspired by the "real world" here. That said, I'd not run across (...) (17 years ago, 29-Jan-07, to lugnet.org.us.laflrc, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
