| | | Bill, This exact same question was posted several months ago but I don't remember the sollution that they came to. This is my Idea: Ok you take two pulleys, pulley (A) is smaller then pulley (B). You then conect the 2 pulleys via a linkage so that (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | (...) Thanks - but that's not what I'm after. I want the input shaft to be rotating continuously - and the output shaft to be stationary for some relatively large amount of time - then suddenly rotate for a short time. This cycle should be repeated. (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

This seems to be because of the strange angle at which the first wheel approaches the second at it initially (...) (23 years ago, 3-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

| | | | | Nice work! Could you potentially use a ratchet mechanism or maybe a step motor set up (with a rubber band) to help with the "coating" problem?

| | | | Steve, If the precision is due to the axe slipping while not being driven, you could consider using a pully off a micro-motor. It has a friction slip mechanism at one end, and an axle hole at the other. You could use the axle hole to stablize the (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

The only drawback is it can get rather noisy :) (URL) black shape at the top is supposed to represent an official Lego rubber band. (...) (23 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
