Hey, I just finished an all Lego Trebuchet. Here is a link to its page on my website: (URL) website talks about it. It was just a quick project so I could play around and see exactly how a Trebuchet works. Well post what you guys think, and please (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Smoothness I can't really help you with on this design, but check my other reply for making larger gaps. Of course, you'd probably want to have at least 24 of these total to make two complete reverse-image screws (...) Part of that might be (...) (21 years ago, 19-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

What I was originally thinking of would involve then picking one of the three "threads" formed by the spiral and adding pieces to them to make an extended blade with 3x as much room between each of the cutting (...)

I've been busy lately, so I wasn't really able to post on this topic earlier, but I feel I have some things to add. First, my opinion is that both studded and studless beams are useful. I have built machines that wouldn't have been possible without (...) (21 years ago, 18-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) The C-3PO, Stormtrooper, and Jango Fett TECHNIC sets all use 1x2 (2-hole) or 1x1 bricks to attach basic LEGO pieces to the otherwise TECHNIC assembly. The R2-D2 set uses a 1-hole 1x2 as a spacer between two assemblies. The closest I can (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)

(...) Let me just start out by getting a few things out of the way. I'm not unsympathetic to your view. I also build primarily with BIONICLE parts and stud-free beams, so I realize I might not have much credibility with you. One thing that I'd like (...) (21 years ago, 17-Jan-04, to lugnet.technic)
