There some new robots on my Lego/Robotics webpage. Two of them are air propelled, though in a very different way one from the other: Duna Rossa (by Mario & Giulio Ferrari) is a robotic sailing tricycle: http://www.geocities.com/~marioferrari/dunarossa/dunarossa.html while Eolo (by Mario Ferrari & Antonio Ianiero) was built to take part in a robotic Sumo tournament and features a pneumatic motor: http://www.geocities.com/~marioferrari/eolo/eolo.html The same Sumo tournament was attended by another robot of mines, Golia: http://www.geocities.com/~marioferrari/golia/golia.html While you are there, you might want to have a look at Otto, a large octagonal two RCXs pneumatic R2-D2 style robot: http://www.geocities.com/~marioferrari/otto/otto.html I'll be happy to hear your comments.

(...) When I looked, I couldn't figure out from the pictures: * How are the legs attached to the body? * How do the pneumatic switches work? (Your picture shows only the gears, and I can't see how they move the switches.) * How does the hand (...) (25 years ago, 11-Aug-00, to lugnet.robotics)
