There are lots of ways to turn rotary motion into linear. (The Boston Museum
of Science has a very old--it was in their TV ads of almost 30 year ago--but
fascinating display of gear combinations and various mechanisms.) One way is
to use the same mechanism as a piston. I've used such on a
rack-and-pinion-type steering displayed at
http://www.wordsmithdigital.com/mindstorms/r&p.htm . While you're there,
check out Carl Jagt's improvements to my design, and the ongoing "Robot
Diaries," which should be of particular interest (I hope) to newer
MindStorms builders.

Subject: Rotary to linear motion
I think someone posted a question awhile back about how to turn rotary to
linear motion. I was playing with my daughters today, and stumbled on a
neat mechanism in one of the "throw bots" (I think it's "Granite"). It has
a nifty rack and pinion gearbox, complete with enclosure.
