(...) I dunno - I reckon the RC motors from 8475 would do pretty well against rubber bands ;) ROSCO (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

(...) What sort of rules did you have in mind? BTW, if all you're concerned about is speed, by far the fastest racers would be ones that would be powered by elastic bands, and not electric motors at all. Motors and battery packs just add too much (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

Would anyone be interested in a LEGO drag racing competition? I don't have anything firm on paper right now, but I do have ideas. I think that it would be limited to four motors, but it would not be a robotics drag race, just an all out race to the (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, FTX)

(...) Thanks Paul! You are always so kind. The pneumatic control circuit is similar to one found in a two double acting cylinder engine, except slightly different. It makes the walking pace more even from side to side. (...) Kevin (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

(...) What can I say? Yet another amazing creation. You have a pneumatic control circuit in there somewhere, I think. I know what you mean about the small pneumatic cylinders needing such high pressure to move a switch. The engine I built following (...) (21 years ago, 16-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

The other day I was given a challenge to make a small biped using small pneumatic pistons. Normally I don't use small pistons in combinations with switches, because the pressure must be increadibly high for a small piston to flip a pneumatic switch (...)

I've had this wind-up mechanical spider for so long that I no longer remembered what it was called. I've always been fascinated with how it moved and wanted to recreate it with LEGO. It's been a fun project, and many challenges were overcome in (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.starwars, lugnet.announce.moc)

I just went to the Lego S@H website and there are a number of new Technic sets there. In particular, the ten-piston 8455 Backhoe set is finally out and at $100 for all those pneumatics it is quite a deal too. I'm going to order some of this stuff (...) (21 years ago, 15-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
