  Re: Small casters
 
I think you're talking about a game called Crossfire (it was very popular about 6 years ago), and there are still quite a few floating around (though I don't think they make it anymore), you should try some garage sales. BTW, the reason I know this (...) (27 years ago, 30-Sep-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
 
  Control Program Size
 
Hello, I'm most likely going to use the Handy Board for a robotics project I'm working on, but I have one concern. I don't know if 32K is enough memory for my control program. We are building several small robots to simulate under-water mine (...) (27 years ago, 29-Sep-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

I use a "captured ball" bearing instead of a caster on my robot, and it works really well (no swivelling needed to change direction). I got these at a (...)

(...) You could try opening up any personal cassette player. I have used several of these. They have a rubber wheel (capstan head, pinch wheel I don't know what their proper name is) on a very convenient metal bracket. Most of the ones I have seen (...)

BTW, I ordered a HandyBoard from (...) (27 years ago, 28-Sep-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

  Small casters
 
does anyone know where to get a small caster? The smallest one I've found is one with a 1.25 inch wheel. I want a really small one like 3/8 inch load hight. I know that's kinda small but otherwise, I'll settle for the smallest I can get my hands on. (...) (27 years ago, 26-Sep-97, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
