Hello I'm trying to make a robot go as fast as possible, but it seems that the power of the engines are stopping me. I own one RIS kit and nothing more. Can i add some more batteries or something? -- Magnus Fasting E-mail: pleboy@online.no Icq: (...) (24 years ago, 12-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

Tricky , Tricky, here's the dilly, 8 to 24 tooth makes the fastest, but low output power, try to find the proper combo so your motors don't work to hard, add a worm gear to hold off the back spin, then try some more gears to get the speed you need, (...)

hey Jeff: Those pictures you sent me a while ago are still on my web site. they are @: (URL) I went and bought 2 of these valves just so I can try to "make" a 4 way valve. I have a crude proto type, and it sort-a fits in a 4x4 lego brick. sorry no (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

WOW ! Sounds like someone answered my prayers. #3 appeals to me. It sounds like just the thing to run the AI on a PC and remotely control the LEGO(R) Chassis. Would it be too much to ask for pics of the prototypes ? -Xanthra47 "John Barnes" (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Assuming the robot is being used self-powered (versus with AC adapter), would there be benefit in modifying the RCX to run off a single 9 volt versus all those AA's? That would save quite a bit of weight. :) Doing this wouldn't be "Lego pure" (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This would cause the weight to go down for acceleration, but then when you turned off the motors, you would coast a shorter distance due to your less inertia. It would depend if you were building a robot for pure acceleration, or not. It would (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) In general terms, worm gears are less efficient than standard gears as they have more inherent friction - essentially, driving a worm gear is like pushing something up an inclined slope. How much this translates into a lego system I have no (...) (24 years ago, 13-Mar-01, to lugnet.robotics)
