I would be more interested in a differential made with standard Mindstorms/CyberMaster pieces, if that's possible of course.

Lego already has a special "differential" piece.  The Super Car has three
of them.  I think you can even buy it a la carte.

Yes!  You are correct.  I've been playing with my Super Car and found
that this was a very cool thing when I got my car last Christmas.

I'll take a some pix of the underside of the Super Car if you all are
interested on how the differentials are used.



I've built a fairly compact one using only standard gears and pieces. I'm
waiting for my digital camera to put up some photos of it somewhere. Mail
me if you want a sneak preview.


Daan, yes, I would like a sneak preview.

(...) While 8482 CyberMaster does not contain a differential piece, Mindstorms does. So if you have Mindstorms, you already have a differential. If not, get the 5229 accessory pack. (URL) (26 years ago, 18-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
