I applaud 100%! Great work! I like to think that if the Lego designers can have new bits for new models, so can we!!!! I appear to have duplicated just about everthing you've been doing :) As far as the threaded rod business goes; I've been buying (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) If you use NQC then you can write a small program and load it into the Scout...then it behaves much like the RCX. The Scout has VERY little free memory - but it's enough to allow it to act as a dumb peripheral, turning motors on and off and (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

I would like to try using threaded nylon rods. Where can you buy them? I've only used steel threaded rods to restrain large axial forces (e.g. in a crane turntable). I've also used smooth 3/16" bar stock when I needed a very stiff and strong axle (I (...) (24 years ago, 4-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I know of 1 type of zero-lash/anti backlash geartrain. It's hard to put it in words but I'll try. My example assumes there are only 2 shafts but it can be applied to as many shafts as you need.
