I'm pretty not happy with the steering centering myself. I can't get mine to center no matter what I do.

Hi pneumatic fans, Thanks to a couple of kind folks, I've been able to trace the art of building pneumatic "steam"-engines to the early days when the single acting cylinders were introduced by LEGO. Here is a page to pay tribute to these pioneer (...) (22 years ago, 22-Aug-02, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

Great Crane! I am so jealous of the amount of bricks and plates you guys have. (...) That's what I keep finding. The hardest part of the crane to get strong enough tends to be the base/outriggers/crawler frames. The boom is easily strong enough. You (...) (22 years ago, 19-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)

Dean, the clutch idea works perfectly! I make a simple drive base like the one in your post using the clutch gear, added a couple of motors, tested it using a couple of dual-switch battery boxes, then tested it with an RCX and a remote. It drives (...) (22 years ago, 18-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
