Hey guys, I'm a bit in a pickle here. I was dismantling my 8042 Universal pneumatic set when I went to pull off the tube off the bottom inlet (The tube was pretty much glued in. It was a non-lego tube), the whole thing snapped off!! After (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) These new pneumatic pistons look like they would be hard to merge together into a linear dual piston configuration. So much for easy creations of logic gates. The new switches look very easy to work with though. Kevin (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) HI Thanx!!:) It's good to hear you like the GTS better. In my surroundings I hear that they like the GT better. For me this means that both cars are succesful creations. I was a bit afraid that the GTS was overdone, just too much, but your (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Fantastic Miguel! I have been working a similar Rover concept for the last few months, although I must confess, that I have focused on the brute strength approach - with motors located at each wheel. My Rover is RCX controlled and has four (...) (21 years ago, 10-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.technic, lugnet.cad)

(...) Nice and interesting thoughts. Could very possibly be my next big project. A big sized 8858 is an option that somebody else proposed and it sounds pretty cool to me. But first I want to digitalize the GTcar before taking it apart. I think this (...) (21 years ago, 6-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

If TLG ever produces a new Supercar, what do you want/not want TLG to put into it? (As in features, drivetrain style, steering, etc.) The reason I ask is the release of the 8455 Front End Loader, which caused me to wonder when/if TLG makes a new (...)

Pins should be removable or addable. were you thinking of just sliding the axles? (...) My wife is very (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

Like you, I was assuming that the position of the cylinders would be the input, but I was thinking of using just the airflow directly as an output rather than the position of another switch. As long as the cylinders are made so (...) (21 years ago, 9-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

I was just trying to satisfy Paul Kreig's desire to have a reversible engine, and it struck me that a differential was an easy mechanical way to do it. I love differentials. (...)
