MASSIVE SNIPPY

DAMN! That’s different! No wonder it took you so long. I was wondering what you were up to :-) ...just another way of figuring out the extremely complicated task of making a boiled egg :-P

I tend to stick exclusively to trains (you know that quite well) and I know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about robotics, but I can still appreciate this one. I could use these, they are hehe ‘cheap’ and I do like boiled eggs and salt :-d One question: Have you had problems with melting ABS? one would imagine them melting at least a bit at that tempreature, given theyr’e so near the heat.

Hello Samarth

Thanks for the comments. Me too, I was thinking I could have get some melting problems. I did some gradually tests and to my surprised, despite the high heat I damaged absolutely no parts!

The two support beam above are located to high, so they are out of danger. I also have a pretty powerfull range hood, and needless to say it was working at full power during the use of the Egglift. ;o)

As you can see on this picture, this sensor received some heat:

I know exactly what what you’re talking about! I made some search but didn’t found it do. :o( But if I recall these pictures were pretty painfull to watch! ;o)

I think it was ‘Ben’ Beneke if thats any help, but his site has moved fairly recently.

Phew, I can feel the heat! What was the reading recorded by the temperature sensor?

As I recall the LEGO Temperature sensor range is from -20 degrees Celsius to +50 degrees Celsius.

Would the sensor go off range or would the ABS melt first?

The range of the Lego temperature Sensor is -20o C to 70 o C. You can see one reading below. As you can see, I’m almost off limit.

From my test, definitely the sensor would go off range first. Probably that’s the reason why TLC limited the range of this sensor to + 70o C.

Cheers.

Thanks!

And from the other post (http://news.lugnet.com/robotics/?n=23345), it appears that the ABS will start to give way around 80 deg Celsius.

Btw, I think your invention could also do hot dogs and bacon rashers for a fuller breakfast ;-)
