(...) It's 6.11125 meters. (...) Yes - it's hard to tell because the difference in speeds will depend on the load on the motors - loading them either more or less would alter their characteristics relative to each other. (...) Yes - I think so. (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Tobbe, My guess is that your friend actually got one 43362 and one 71427, the latter beeing enclosed in a 43362 case. If you look at 43362 enclosure photo ((URL) you see that there are 4 plastic pins in corners that are used to secure 71427 core (...) (23 years ago, 15-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

I am going to be holding an Off-Road RC racing competition at BricksWest 2003.

The problem with that is you'd have to put the mechanisms together by putting axles over the first setup, which begins looking ugly. This is how I achieved the first walking part: 1. Geared down motor going to two output axles. 2. Put two pulleys on (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Well, if you can do one, how about if you put two of these right next to each other? I'm sure you'd want one to be a mirror of the other, to put them closer together... I don't know if three would work as well. Maybe you could have one that's (...) (23 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The size of the firmware isn't going past the 0xcc00 boundary, is it? The firmware in the RCX only does a sum on the bytes up to 0xCBFF in the downloaded firmware, as far as I recall... Cheers, Ralph (23 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.robotics.rcx)
