(...) I've tried that - it jams periodically when the teeth of one wheel meet point-to-point against the teeth of the wheel it's driving. This seems to be because of the strange angle at which the first wheel approaches the second at it initially (...) (22 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? Jona ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Baker" <sjbaker1@airmail.net> To: "Kevin L. Clague" (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

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 (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I've uploaded a simple detent mechanism which can be used to stop shafts creeping round when they're not supposed to. The only drawback is it can get rather noisy :) (URL) black shape at the top is supposed to represent an official Lego rubber band. (...) (22 years ago, 4-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)

I combined Robert Munafo's stepper motor ((URL) and Rob Limbaugh's partial rotation ((URL) to get a working prototype of a base 5 odometer. Hope to post a pic tomorrow. (...) (22 years ago, 5-Apr-02, to lugnet.robotics)
