(...) "regulation" (...) out" into (...) We'd like to see how soccer balls would run through our modules. I'm guessing that some would take the smaller balls just fine and could slip right into a regulation GBC, but others would find that their (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Zamor Spheres
 
(...) This is indeed the main problem. As we originally defined a GBC it used soccer balls (at the time, Zamors hadn't yet even come out), so most GBC-standard modules not only use but take advantage of the fact that a LEGO soccer ball fits very (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Zamor Spheres
 
<<but I gather that means they may not work in a ball pump e.g.>> I chose to use Zamor spheres (because of their availability) for our GBC in my small robotics/engineering class. The kids have made ball pumps, Archimede's screws, stair lifts, chain (...) (18 years ago, 11-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Thanks. When I make one for the head motion it should be pretty cool. The action of the left/right and up/down is pretty quick. - Eric Sophie (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)
 
  Re: Robo Quad - Stage Seven
 
(...) Thank you, it is just taking a long time to build. I don't want to build it the wrong way. So I choose carefully the steps involved. Plus, it is tough going on my fingers. (...) Hard to say. All the joints are very strong. The motors provide (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)
 
  Re: Robo Quad - Stage Seven
 
(...) Very impressive. The complexity of this robot is astounding. It looks very heavy. Will there be enough power for the weight? I am not doubting your work but it is a question that may come to some when they see how many parts are involved in (...) (18 years ago, 10-May-07, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) someone still has an information page up. (18 years ago, 8-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: Control Lab & NQC
 
(...) linmix, if you can program in NQC, you can use C. It's pretty much the same language. You'll just have to learn how to use the serial port, it's not that hard. Get a book on C programming from your local library or bookstore. Get a little (...) (18 years ago, 7-May-07, to lugnet.robotics)
