I had a rather out-of-the blue request recently, and thought I'd toss it out to the community at large. A women from the National Society of Black Engineers got in touch with me about making sumo rings for them: they have six events scattered around (...)

Hi all, I just upload two articles of three LEGO robots I've made, 2 RCX able to follow a light and a line, and one NXT to fight sumo. Right now I've just "clean" the code of the line follower, as soon as I'll make the other code available I'll post (...) (16 years ago, 3-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Further measurements show that connector #3 is 22.5 degrees - this means you can use these to make a jointed 90 degree arc with 5 panels (the ends would be perpendicular to each other). Would this meet your design requirement? (16 years ago, 2-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) It doesn't need to be exact, just repeatable. I need to make an armature of 4 or 5 successive 15degree "turns" to support some panels that are making sort of a jointed arc. I'll give the technic pieces a try. Almost jumped for joy at Nick (...) (16 years ago, 1-Oct-08, to lugnet.robotics)
