  RIS Bulldozer
 
Does anyone know where plans for the RIS Bulldozer might be found? There is a pic of it on the back of the box, and I've searched all over for it, but to no avail. I want to push some dishes off the dinning room table =) Tom Heverly (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: error -14
 
The latest version of directx is 8.0 ... it's upwards compatible and has some bugs fixed , you can find it on the microsoft site. If you first install directx 8.0, the mindstorms installation won't install the old version of directx. Good luck. (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: A new Rover

  Re: Shrimp, Lobster & more...
 
More excellent robots ! Thanks for sharing, Mario : ) I'm sorta bummed that you beat me to the LEGO(R) Shrimp, but I love your drive system and you did leave me some leeway to build a shrimp that can steer.... Xanthra47 "Mario Ferrari" (...) (24 years ago, 25-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

  Re: article in JavaWorld and Garbage Collection
 
Great article, Jonathan! That's exactly what I need to get started. Your point about garbage collection (esp. lack thereof) reminded me of a question I have for everyone: Since LeJOS doesn't currently implement garbage collection, it seems there are (...)

Thanks again. It's pretty hard getting even a small site to work properly. I.e., Geocities frequently drops images from the instructions page. I might provide a better format (pdf?) soon. Cheers, Miguel (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Shrimp, Lobster & more...
 
No, I'm not OT :-) SHRIMP is the name of a very clever high mobility rover developed by the Autonomous Systems Lab in Lausanne, Switzerland.

do you have any diagrams online? The thing is, we don't have the set. But we're making progress. We now know how the legs work. it's the gears that are a problem (24 years ago, 24-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)

  RE: AT-AT
 
(...) Exactly. Mine walks very nicely, and has not fallen over once. Otherwise it's pretty boring however, because the MicroScout is extremly limited in its capabilities. The best program I found is the one that makes it walk when you shine a light (...) (24 years ago, 23-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
