Hi all, I just bought a 8479 Barcode Multiset. There used to be a Lego program to print barcodes for it, unfortunately the page (URL) no longer exists... Anybody knows where I can find it or can mail it to me ? TIA, Philo www.philohome.com (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)

| | MOC: Caterpillar walker
|
|
After doing my spider walker (URL) , which was essentially a bi-ped with overlapping footprints, I decided to create a walking caterpillar. It has 12 pairs of independent legs which move in the rhythmic pattern typical of caterpillars. As with the (...) (21 years ago, 21-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.build, lugnet.announce.moc)

I'm traveling to Boston for a week of work on Sunday. If any of you live in the area and want to get together.... I'm available. I'm bringing two tackleboxes packed with LEGO as I always do when I have to travel long periods for work. Kevin (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics, lugnet.cad)

I don't see any reason why not to try it ;-) Off the top of my head, I can tell you that an RCX loaded with batteries is fairly heavy - maybe you'll need more springs and to pay carfeul attention to balance.

(...) Er.. re-reading that, I see that sounds kinda dumb. It sounds like I meant that you have to manually reset them. I actually only meant that the pistons can be reset by applying air pressure on the other side of all three pistons. >> Mark (21 years ago, 20-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic)
