...and then, after lots of testing and verifications, you get the problem of mechanical wear! Some designs are more sensitive to that than others. For example my Archimede screw ((URL) that initially worked reliably is now unusable after several (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I got mine on Tuesday. I haven't done much with it yet (that pesky job thing), but here's what I've thought so far... <ramble> The small "quick start" box is great, a lot of newbies will be up and running easily. Only one kind of wheels? I (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

I wonder whether some cause of instability for seemingly well tested modules when they are put into a real GBC is that the specification doesn't specify the speed, or the angle of entry of balls into your input hopper. If your upstream 'test' module (...) (19 years ago, 30-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

A video tidbit I've had rattling around since House of Bricks. The first part is NXT combat, with three remote controled robots (that's six NXT sets altogether). The camera is mounted on a robot driven by John Brost, with my robot being the (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) If you have a module, then bring it - old or new. I'm not sure how many new ones I'll have, especially as one of mine is now a virtual GBC antique, having been one of the very first modules ever made to the standard. And the others that will (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) This brings me to a question: is there any restriction on bringing last year's modules to this year's Brickfest? On one hand it seems like that could make it even bigger (!) but on the other hand we want some new stuff, right? Thoughts, (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) I've worked with these as well. They look nice, and like Steve I have some modules that can handle them, and some that can't. More interesting (to me) is that a simple mechanical sorter works great, so potentially you could have a GBCm that (...) (19 years ago, 29-Jun-06, to lugnet.robotics)
