  technic turntable mould difference
 
Hello, I'm building a very solid turntable base, and found a problem with one of the turntables I bought via bricklink. All the turntables I have used to have little dents at the base, also at the side which has the three bottom mounting holes. But, (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  RE: "real" LEGO Hovercraft ? (with/without batteries/RCX "onboard")
 
Hi Chris, :) (...) I have that set. That was one of the first tests I did when I got it. It's my only ZNAP set. I bought it because of the motor, the flex and those wheel/"turbine". From what I remember, it doesn't work that well. It's too tiny. It (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Polling sensor values with wait_event
 
Hello all, Is it true that the wakeup function is only checked once every timeslice and only for the process that has the highest priority and is at the front of the priority chain? For example, a process k is waiting on the wakeup function y wich (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx.legos)
 
  RE: Newbie has an idea - Nascar style racing?
 
(...) How about blocking the illumination LED and using the LEGO LAMP for illumination? (...) This eliminates one more color/pattern for the RCX to look for, probably a good thing. How would this relate to determining winner of a race? (...) The (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: "real" LEGO Hovercraft ? (with/without batteries/RCX "onboard")
 
(...) I'd be interested in knowing how this works. The ZNAP green helicopter set (which I got three of last year at $9 each!) had some little round turbine-like parts, basically a ducted fan. Never tried them out to see if they're actually (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  "real" LEGO Hovercraft ? (with/without batteries/RCX "onboard")
 
Ok, so we have the 4, 3 and 2 (LegWay :) wheel bots... and the 8, 6, 3, 2, 1(?) leg BOTs. ...but, what about a 0 (zero) Wheel / Leg Bot ? Ok, there's the pseudo-flying bots :)) but, apart from some trials with blimps (helium balloons?) and (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Helicopter was Re: Newbie has an idea
 
(...) THe thing we couldn't understand was how you'd managed to make the helicopter fly forwards and backwards. We'd assumed you had some amazingly clever cyclic pitch adjustment in the rotor head (which looks complicated enough to maybe do (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Hi Dennis, This model, built in collaboration with my frien Fabio Sali is fully operational as you specified, but naturally, due to the weigh (4/4,2 Kg) there's a problem .. it's very slow. Thank to Fabio suspension setup, and a good downgear (...) (23 years ago, 26-Nov-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.general, lugnet.modelteam, lugnet.loc.it)
 
  Re: compass sensor

  Re: Line following algorithms
 
(...) Dave Baum's Definitive Guide gives a good treatment for the case of a single light sensor. However, to follow a line as opposed to "edge following" with elegance and ability to negotiate sharp 90-degree bends requires two light sensors as was (...)
