 | | BrickVista web site launch
|
| Hello All, Just a short note to announce the launch of my LEGO orientated site – BrickVista (URL) finally finished (A few days earlier than expected) After 4 months in development, and what started out as a ‘couple of pages’, BrickVista is launched.

| | | | | Re: A better full adder!
|
| (...) Oops... after rereading what I wrote, I see made a typo there, and I can see how it could be very, very confusing. What I meant to say was that the bottommost switch on the left piston will already be down to receive A & _C_, which is high and (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
| | | | | Alternate 8458 MOC: Sportscar with instructions
|
| Hi! After a long time I've finally finished the instructions of my alternate model from the 8458 Silver Champion. So if you have a Silver Champion and maybe have seen the official models long enough, you may want to build this Sportscar. The (...)

| | | | | Chameleobot the Quadruped: 4 and 1/2 foot MOC
|
| Chameleobot the Quadruped is a Mindstorms creation that is a bit bigger than your average quadruped. It is 4 and 1/2 feet long and uses 2 RCX's, 6 motors, 4 touch sensors, a light sensor, and a host of gears among some of the things. Chameleobot is (...)

| | | | | Re: A better full adder!
|
| (...) Thanks. Here's how it works: Consider only the right piston for a moment. The output of this subsystem (which will be driving the left piston) is simply (A&~C)|(~A&C), which is an XOR operator, or a half-adder. So what drives the left piston (...)

| | | | | Re: A better full adder!
|
| (...) Very impressive! Two pistons! (...) Well, I can eliminate one switch on the Cin/A/NOT A piston. You don't need to throw the switches the full range do you? You can get the release from A/NOT A, and have to have it come from the local switches, (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)

| Okay, Kevin... you talked me into trying this inverted logic thingamy. (I'm just too competitive for my own good...) How's this? (URL) A and NOT A, B and NOT B, and Carry in as inputs and produces A+B+C, NOT A+B+C, and Carry Out as outputs. I saw no (...) (21 years ago, 28-Jun-03, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
