(...) The walls are going to be about two inches tall. The houses will be considerably taller than that. Probably on the order of three to five times taller. By the way, there's only a bit over a week before BrickFest. If anyone else is considering (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.events.brickfest, lugnet.robotics, FTX)

More information about your application would be helpful. The first thought that jumps to mind is "Use a more powerful motor. Duh!". So there must be something that I am missing. There must be some reason you need to use the puny motor. Maybe you (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) How much torque do I need to drive the rotation sensor? This was my first plan of action, but I was limited because I don't have a rotation sensor other than the NXT motors themselves! From a purist point of view, I would really like a (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) ... (...) So use a rotation sensor to sense the position of the weak input - and use a NXT motor to track that position and drive all of the gears. You can change the ratio of the input angle to the NXT motor's angle in software and thereby (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics)

I have a gear train that is driven by a very weak input, very small torque. There are some places in the gear train where I have some worm gears driving some 'regualr' gears. As I go along the gear train, I boost the output as much as I can with (...) (18 years ago, 20-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) In my experience, this sort of problem occurs when the file size is zero (or, more precisely, it contains zero bytes) or it is not properly closed. Can you send me a copy of your program so I can see if it has any problems? John Hansen (18 years ago, 19-Mar-07, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi, I am a new user of the Lego robot and would like to ask a question. I ran into a problem with uploading a file from the NXT to my PC via USB which I did not understand why.
