I was looking at Jun Yu's clever little Hexapod design, and thinking that
I'm a *long* way from having the skills to design something neat and • compact
like that.

Is there anywhere on the web - or in a book somewhere - a "library" of • clever
little tricks or basic Lego Technics design hints?

Things like:  I wanted to make a reciprocating vertical motion from a • motor
output - but I'm finding it very hard to make such a thing from the parts • I
have without it being *HUGE* - or very fragile.  I guess this problem has
been solved a dozen times over - and some of your guys can probably think
of several good tricks for doing that.

The question is, has anyone every put a collection of those tricks • together
in print or on the web anywhere?

There are a few tricks like that in the manuals that come with Mindstorms
sets - but that just leaves me realising how valuable such a thing would • be.

If it doesn't exist, should it?  I could probably find enough web site • space
to store such a thing on a permenant basis if people would like to • contribute
to it.

I'm not sure how you'd present the information - photos?  Drawings made • with
one of the Lego-specific CAD programs?  Downloadable source files for • those
CAD programs that show things step-by-step?

How would you search/classify the various techniques?
