Hi folks,
Two new Lego creations are up on my pages at:
http://www.pobox.com/~benw/lego/
I just finished the VCR, which has a motorized top-loading deck, and a
tape with spools that are engaged and driven by hubs once loaded. There's
an NQC program that loads the tape when you press down on the deck, plays
it for a while and then ejects it. And you thought the clock was useless.
Last weekend I built a car with active suspension, stealing some ideas
from the brochure photos of the 8448 SuperCar II. I had just received the
8462 Crane Truck with those nice wheels and pneumatics and stuff, and I
really couldn't wait till September for that car. :)
Enjoy,
- Ben.

I have previously made independent front suspension using other kinds of pieces, which means that the car (...) (26 years ago, 21-May-99, to lugnet.robotics)
